After a few weeks I finally calmed down, worked a couple extra shifts, and now have enough on-hand cash to consider fixing my issues. In regards to cooling:

1.) Is a low temp thermostat worth getting, or should I stick with my stocker for this application?

2.) In regards to the Hahn FMIC, I heard a similar answer from the techs at Hahn, Slo2g, if you dont mind me asking, what brand of fan did you go with to be pushers for our radiator, I know space is rather limited and I was also wondering if you had it wired off the factory harness and settings.


In regards to coatings -

Has anyone had any problems with coatings from JetHot in regards to Hahn Racecraft manifolds or manifolds in general cracking after being coated and heated? I wanted to do some definite coatings to the Valve Cover and the Manifold at least, if possible the turbo, but I was unsure as to what degree coating I would require.

Again thanks to Darkone eih the advice, definietely feel a bit better about this rebuild than where I was 3 weeks ago.
