I don't personally like any of the oil bypasses, unless you have a dedicated race car all they are going to do is substantially increase the time it takes the oil to warm up. Lots of these motors are destroyed not by power but by people beating on them with 500lb.ft and oil not even close to temp. As for the rest of the parts a pipe is a pipe as long as the welds hold I suppose.

To the intial 160 its not even 1.5 to 2minutes. From there to 210 isnt that much different either. It just holds around 210ish better. Winter is a little different, if you even experience that change. Some swap it back out. Even then you cant blame the product because some arent using it correctly or not knowledgeable about it enough to use it correctly.

Not to mention the BMS oil cooler valve functions entirely different than the FTP valve. The BMS does not include or retain a spring, in which keeps oil flowing through the oil cooler at all times. Perhaps you installed the FTP incorrectly or weren't aware how it works?

if you bothered to look at how the thing works and researched on similar products you will know the spring doesnt do shit.... the valve doesnt move around in the housing without the spring so you may as well take it out

if you want to see for yourself, open the top ports on the housing with the valve inside

if you actually still believe the thing is a low temp thermostat bypass that activates at a specific temp then i guess theres no point discussing it further

and a cheap pipe... you couldve saved more by going with a cxracing pipe;);)

The guy that said my post was dumb is selling a cxracing intercooler and ultimate racing intake.....coincidentally cxracing has an identical intake. Not saying his is from there..and thats none of my business anyhow. Its just funny how my post is dumb but has ebay parts as well. Lol...Probably isnt even his though....
I found your rambling in the post I said was dumb, to be...dumb. The excessive use of "lol" also persuaded my opinion.
