Kingalton, I drove my S14 sr20det w/ BPU's without one issue of overheating on the interstate at 80mph set on cruise w/ stints of 100mph pulls. I never once had to pull over to cool the car down. Regardless of how well you took care of your car, there is an underlying issue here and it needs to be fixed and/or upgraded.

With that said, don't play that drive at 65mph/>3000rpms crap. All cars in this day and age cruise at 80mph and 3500rpms and dont over heat. Hell my STI at 80mph was at 33-3400rpms, was probably at 6-7inhg and I never overheated.

And why the hell would you ever recommend to disconnect the Turbine?
