Since I am not a car-person by experience, I am super-cautious too. I only have my daily driver, so I can't afford to ____ up either.

Thanks, mine is a daily driver too and I believe in passive solutions, with the exception of transmissions (got to have a manual!) .

This could be used to monitor engine temps.

By thermostat, I meant in-line with the radiator hose to regulate the coolant flow. This is an interesting idea though, having a temperature of the exhaust manifold or even the oil cooler in the HAI would be real nice, especially If I do make that into a mod on my vehicle. That would tell me how consistent the oil temperature is. I'm making note of the site right now for later use . I have a Scangauge I to take care of my internal monitoring. If you haven't picked one up yet, they are by far the best $139-169 bucks you can spend on instrumentation/diagnostics.
