Use once I'm boosted, how do I avoid overcooling? I've heard of sand which plates being used but how does that all work?

Thermostatic sandwich plate allows partial oil flow to the oil cooler (usually ~20%) when the oil is not warmed up enough. Once the oil warms up enough (usually ~180F) it will allow 100% flow to the oil cooler. Even with it, some people still have to fabricate a block off plate for their oil cooler; this is usually a sheet of metal attached to the front of the cooler to block air from passing over the cooling fins. Install the block off plate in the cooler months (when you're having trouble getting up to 180F temps) and remove it in the warmer months for full cooling capability.
