I was looking into lower temp options until I started having my realtime temps on my dashboard and how the temp drops 15c in seconds when power is requested.
Interesting, I wonder what the design differences are between yours and the m62 MAP system. I watch mine on long drives because I’m bored, and see it open and cool down too late to make a difference (I’ve long passed the truck, etc.). I also see it continuously cycle like clock work, every few minutes on long straights with little elevation on the hwy, which seems odd to me.
