Thanks for the info Thomas. So with 20 mins on track with just the RLS IC, the post temp is 120 deg.

What would be the post temp in the same situation with the stock IC?
(never mind. Thomas just answered that. Thanks.)

Is 120 deg within a good temp range so that the ECU don't have to intervene?

Will the RLS IC allow us to swap for a smaller pulley (with a reflash of course)?

I guess the ultimate goal for us S owners is to swap for a smaller pulley since its the cheapest way for us to get more hp/torque.
