It says, in the FAQ here, and at FCP Groton, that the stock t-stat for the B230FT turbo engine is the 87 deg. C t-stat, and for the normally aspirated B230F, it is the 92 deg. C t-stat. However, I just noticed that the 1992 owner's manual says, on page 9:6, that it is the opposite, 87 deg. C for the normally aspirated engine, and 92 deg. C for the turbo. Any idea of who is right?

    The difference is pretty much insignificant. Unless you're above the arctic circle, go with the cooler one.
