Specifications
Part Details:
The factory thermostat on these Subaru platforms opens at a higher temperature, which can let coolant temps climb further than ideal under hard driving or with a modified, upgraded turbo setup. This Mishimoto racing thermostat opens at 68 degrees Celsius, noticeably lower than stock, allowing coolant to begin circulating sooner and helping maintain lower, more consistent engine temperatures.

Is this a good match for a daily driven car?
