Does this affect you hp in any way lol i know this is old but i saw a listing for it on ebay. I only ask because it looks as though it increases the flow of coolent makeing ur engine cooler at higher temps generating some sort of hp?

No and not recommended if not supercharged.

...in fact, if you aren't boosted or run the car hard, you'll actually lose power...

a colder thermostat means cooler coolant, which means that the car will run a tad bit richer....which means less power for a car that doesn't need more fuel.

On my RX300 with all its aftermarket toys, intake, exhaust, etc. I have noticed a difference running the TRD T-stat both at high altitude back in Mexico City and now here in Florida with the temp gauge running in the middle back in Mexico and a tad below middle here in Florida.
