Nice, your V8 now runs at 6cyl temps. That's a big load off your system for sure!
Looking forward to more updates.

Thanks.
As I said, to me, it's not about lowering temps to let's say 85 C as some people do with 85 C thermostat. I do believe that M62 / M62TU need temperatures high enough for combustion chamber reaching proper temperatures in order to burn mixture cleanly and for overall health of the engine.
On the other hand, 105 C map controlled thermostat is simply to close to dangerous temps and there is much less warning if something goes bad. While in theory and in practice, map controlled thermostat is clever way to lower temps under the load, IMO it's not worth it the potential issue with serious ECU box damage and running most of time over 100 C operating temps.
I believe my way eliminates that, get's rid of old clutch fan technology, less stress on WP bearing and extra room in engine compartment.
