Default Meizere WP and T-stat = WTH

Got the pump today and a 160 T-stat.
My question is,How the hell do you install the t-stat and not have it leak??There is no reciever groove in the pump which means the t-stat will push out the t-stat housing causing a leak??

We put the pump on without a t-stat for now and wired it on a relay controlled by the fuel pump source.The pump is quiet as hell and the car runs at 150 degree's on the highway.(A little to cold for me!!)

I noticed that, too. My car with the EWP and no thermo runs just under 180 all the time, but I think the outside temp is a large factor.

I was figuring it went where the old one went.The directions was not clear at all about this and no picture with an arrow like Dan was nice enough to do.
So it works like the old school setup.The T-stat does fit in there nicely.
I still can't believe how quiet the pump runs.
