Hopefully the injectors reset will help out. I recall you talking to me about it agess ago.
Also as for the thermostats... MB' thread here might give you some info.

Yeah Im looking at the total length of the stat more than the temp ratings. Trying to get the stat by pass to shut earlier to force coolant to flow through the radiator earlier and at a lower coolant temp. I have read some have even welded in spacer plates so the by pass on a OEM stat will shut earlier and had good success. I think using a different stat is easier.

But we'll see what happens with the new squirters first....

K.I.S.S theory you are smashing tracks brother
Definitely love your mythical busters approach of not doing two or three major changes at once for your own clarity squirters possiblity sharing

So I’ve got the squirters in. 47nm torque really feels to light but...
I’ve a got a longer stat to play with and I bought some water wetter. Hear d a lot of good words about this stuff.
What do I have to lose? Really?

So I got the injectors in. Then stopped. There’s a lot a corrosion in the inside on two of the banjos only the spill tube.

Kinda hard to see in the pic but these two are quite corroded, the rest were squeaky clean. I’m gonna ask the guy who did my injectors tomorrow for some input.

Here’s the height difference between an OEM stat and the new one. I just need to pull back the lower by pass plate 3-4mm first.
