Don't matter where you are, the thermostats are the same on the B230 engines, the normals run a 92, and the turbos run a 87, the turbos need the extra thermal reserve because when you drive them hard they heat up a lot.

The turbo spec thermo is anywhere from 86-88 depending on the brand of thermostat, but the factory original was 87.
