[QUOTE="Coop, post: 130988, member: 332"] I was unsuccessful in finding a suitable replacement. The factory unit is rated at 188 degrees, opening fully by 194 or so. Aftermarket 180 degree units are available, but if you compare the factory unit with aftermarket units, like Stant or Hypertech, you'll discover that the radiator bypass circuit valve is a bit smaller in diameter on the aftermarket units. This of course allows more un-cooled water to bypass the radiator, raising the operating temps. I ended up modifying the factory unit to open up sooner and so far, it has worked. I'm planning on also modifying the bypass valve, in order to restrict hot water flow through the bypass circuit and divert it back through the radiator. Not an issue for n/a cars, but a must IMO for supercharged applications running in the heat of the summer. [/QUOTE]
