middle when everything was stock. with a forbidden cooling plate and a V2 intake it stays just below the middle usually.

Isn't the middle where it's supposed to be if it's heating up properly?

yeah once it's at running temp, not while it's heating up though..

well...duh, lol. Doesn't take a genius to see the bars go up towards the middle.

Just meant that once it's done "going up" to running temp isn't the middle where it's supposed to be if the car is heating up properly and not overheating or under heating.

Where'd you get your cooling plate?

^forbidden made them

i have one. its more cosmetic than actually useful (and a great place to set tools)

if this little piece of metal affects your temps, then you have something seriously wrong
