Review on 🏎️ Mishimoto MMTS-TC-05L Racing Thermostat for Toyota MR-2 2000-2005: Improved Performance Guaranteed! by Philip Davenport

Revan to the rescue!

Luckily Revain had this part in stock! I also have one of the problematic Scion TCs with a TRD supercharger. This car has been in the shop more times than any other car I've owned, and that's largely because dealers don't install parts correctly. Since 2007, 6 different compressors have been installed on this machine. Now I noticed that fans constantly come to this car. I don't drive but my wife does and she never notices these things. When I drove it last weekend, the car almost overheated! I knew it could be the thermostat, but I had to be sure. I checked the radiator inlet and outlet pipes - yes, one is cold, the other is warm. TRD discontinued this part so I had to go with Mishimoto which works great! But when I removed the supposed TRD thermostat from my car, screw it and lo and behold, it was a factory OEM! So the dealer cut corners again on this car, so this part finally failed! I'm telling you, if you can do it with your hands, do it with your hands. This part isn't that difficult to install and all it took me was about an hour to finish this job. Thanks Revain for the part I needed!
