I think mine is alittle slow too. It's a stock temp one, but it seems
slow to close/open.

Upon close examination in a pot of hot water, the old thermostat doesn't seem to open as much as the new one. However it is definitely opening and closing at 80 degrees.

Turns out their store brand is re-branded MotoRad parts from Germany. $15.99 ain't bad for German parts :)

I've got it in a bath of water on the stove....seems to be opening and closing correctly. But I'm going to go buy another one anyways. $16 at Schucks.

Alright, I'm gonna make some lunch then pull the bitch out, see how it does.
One more tidbit that may help: Driving around town it's great. As I accelerate on to the freeway, the temp starts to drop as the radiator gets more airflow. It dips down to almost 1/4 before starting it's rampage towards the red zone. One more thing that I think may be pointing to the thermostat
