Ok so the temps in the 6 are not what I'd like them to be. Could it be tuning maybe, but the 2.4 is running pretty good and the WB says I'm on the rich side.

I purchased a Mocal t stat. I had already purchased a stock 911 one, but it's bulky so I think I'll sell it.

Why do some run the lines up the passenger and some up the driver? Is it because the cooler up front only goes one-way? Just preference?

Where is the best mounting spot? Pics would be helpful. Andy put his inside the chassis. I'm looking for a more general mounting spot. Can it be installed up in the frunk as I have seen on others? What's the drawback there?

Thanks and sorry in advance for the millionth ask. I might do something similar to tomeric, but was just curious about these other things first.

Air diffuser is should be in place. I say should because the alternator was swapped over from my other engine and I did not perform that swap. I don't see why the PO would leave it off, but then again wouldn't think he'd leave a blue towel in it either.

The flaps I was referencing were under the chassis. I have seen some use them on their 6 and some not.

As far as the seals, while new, some of the seals are just touching. Let me grab some tape for the next run.

I pulled plug 5 and the plug looked gray, so lean. The colortunes just came in so I will be getting the mixtures perfect.

Did you buy multiple color tunes or just 1? I am intrigued by this.. I think it would be great to use.
