    Default 160 degree t-stat

    Besides changing the fan temps and doing the auto VE again anything else I need to change? I just ordered 1 today with a 80MM TB.

    Sorry, I just looked and it wasn't there anymore. I don't remember editing it out. Anyway, under Idle>Learning>Parameters, the first cell (IIRC) is the temp at which it'll start 'learning' the idle requirements. If you run on a cold day, you might never get past the 178*F factory setting. I set mine at 160*F.

    B4501(min) is set to 176 and B4502(max) and set to 234. Think I should lower both by 20 deg to 156 and 214?
