My Mishimoto seems to be fine. No leaks so far.
I'm not going to go to bat for them as a company or anything. I have purchased one product from them. I don't know anything about their other products. The one I bought seems to be working. It seems like they've been solid with their response...
I agree, I wasn’t expecting a significant change. I also think the VVTI motors run hotter based on info from the fuel boil threads. (Mine’s an 06)
Still looks cool though.
I monitored my temp during the summer and it hovered around 194-196 during normal driving with outside temps in the 90s. During an off road trip in the eastern sierra, and over mountain passes it would climb to 205, but usually not higher than that.
Today I drove a lot, over the hill, back...
