Next step is to swap the TB and then the intake manifold.

Stay tuned.

Don't forget to disconnect the battery cable so that the ECU can relearn the new operating parameters with the stock thermostat.

And it has been disconnected since the install of the engine stuff as well (I've been working on the headlights and audio after doing the intake and TB, so I've had other occasion to disconnect the battery)

Its also worth mentioning that I don't have any seemingly bad side-effects other than a super high idle when the car is cold (first thing in the morning). Other than the high idle, everything seems "okay" (other than the fact that I think I've lost 10hp)

Looks like he already did. Wouldn't hurt to try again tho.

I believe that quote is two weeks old and refers to when Will first installed everything including the low temp thermostat.
