Water jacket life saver??? Like a life jacket in water or the candy????

So after you do a quick flush of cooled coolant (30 sec) your engine temps drop to 185 & stay there?? Cool..........

^water jackets as in coolant seals and life saver as in...they might last longer if not baking above 220F or whatever.

I'm sure they don't stay that cool, but what a great decrease in oven temperature in a short amount of time.

It's like anything else on these cars, no mater what it comes down to your choice. I ignored there plea's to not buy one because there were so many people getting rid of them cheap and I wanted a volt meter. Well now I have a volt meter, and fan controler, I followed there advise about driving off boost for a short period of time before my destination and have no problems. Any way use the information and do what you want, they can be had cheap and come with the FD specific harness which makes it a snap to install.
