no thermostat

may be a dumb question but does anyone in florida run a no thermostat set up?
i recently changed mine out and autozone gave me the wrong part to i put it back together with no thermostat and it just made me wonder being down south and everything is there any disadvantage to running a no thermo set up?

esp. being in the heat, a no thermostat situation might actually make u see higher than normal temps as the coolant mix doesn't get chance to absorb heat generated

get back a unit

autozones/advanced auto places have been known to sell the regular lancer thermos for the evo which clearly are not interchangable

evos sometimes doesn't exist in their list.
just "lancer-2008"
so be realy carefull buying parts for evos at autozone/pepboys, etc
you better buy from your mitsu dealer/online
