I just turboed my KA. I used mostly stock SR parts and only run a 7lbs so I can drive it daily. Its the first KA I've kept the thermostat in and it didnt work out, it overheated. So I just took out the thermostat and now it doesnt overheat and seems to run good. Any positives or negatives with running no thermostat?

Thanks,Joe
