Same thing happens to me cause I'm a slow typer lol.
The thermostat stops the water flow through the radiator when its closed. Most engines have a water pump bypass so water continues to flow through the water pump and block in a loop. This way all the...
The "too much flow" idea is true or false depending on what is flowing and how fast. Taking a thermostat out of some cars will cause overheating as the water does not stay in the radiator long enough...
There is one thing you are overlooking with this line of reasoning. The evaporator can freeze solid in my car till there is no airflow coming out the vents but as long as your refrigerant is pure...
Normally my setup never got above 120 to 130 under 18 psi boost. I only logged it from the charge temp sensor which I know is very slow to respond but even on long uphill pulls it would stay around...
I think we are comparing apples to oranges. A lot of things would need to be considered such as compressor efficiency, boost level, intercooler efficiency, amount of water in the system etc. Also...
I don't think I've been wildly optimistic in 30 or 40 years lol. I should have said water temperature not air temperature. My system got the water/antifreeze mixture below zero on multiple occasions....
If you plumb the coolant through your ac system you can cool the air temp down below freezing even.
