    hmmm not sure my question came across the way it was intended.

    how does the OP's cooling system compare to a standard 20V setup.

    and on a standard 20V setup where is the temp guage sender located.

    well your heater is hooked up right, but that shouldn't cause it to run too cool. It should be from the back of the pump to the heater core, out the other side of the heater core to the flow controller and to the back of the head.

    well guys i just installed the under driven water pump pully today and i just took it for a run it sits at 90 deg at idle and run it down the high way and it sits at 80 deg. if i sit at idle for abit on the high way it sits at 90deg i nail it and bash throught he gears from 1st to 3rd to 120klm it drops to 65 deg but once i back off and sit on a hundred it climbs pretty quick to 80deg. only thing im worried about is it is a really cold night tonight, if i get a hot day it may over heat. but on the other hand the thermos havent come on as i havent hit 96 deg yet. ill let you know how i go, also i have removed the walsh plug from the top rad hose so fingers crossed its all sweet.

    sam q yes that is how the heater runs i think on the standard tap which one goes were, or i can trace it to the fire wall left or right goes to which tap side then to block or back of water pump??

    the heater tap is meant to go off the back of the heater to the heater core
