Lets not get this thread into something that it was not intended to be. I didn't claim or promise any HP gain. I was witnessing temp issues I thought could be addressed in a cheap, simple manner. I found a fix and passed it on to my Pro brothers. I could have put this kit together and sold it, but that was not my intent.

TRS , I c u used washers with a rubber gasket on it, is it just a T stat gutted or something u made?
BRP did have some problems with their early thermo housing and bypass. New moldings have fixed the problem. As relayed to me from a rep.
I understand it cost more than $28. Retail for the housing is $28, that is why I posted a $28 upgrade.
Here is my cost for the parts. I just went through my invoices.
BRP T-stat $18.63
BRP Tee 4.12
7378 Hose 4.56
8205 Hose 9.19
42925 Clamp 1.97 ea.
42934 Clamp 3.11 ea.
660-1696 Cap 3.21 for 2
I don't have a price on the smaller powergrip clamp.
Is this not a cheap fix?

You can gut the thermo. I machined an aluminum washer to replace the high dollar thermo($30.33).
I believe both TRS and I have made them, I ask $10 apiece to cover my time materials and priority postage. PM me if you are interested.
Loudhandle did get me set up with 5 kits as needed. Big thanks to him doing this, and to all you other guys that offered your help. It is much appreciated.

Another Option for plugging the unused port
I have found a few other options for plugging the unused port on the BRP thermostat.
My local hardware had some 1/2" PEX test plugs made by Zurn that fit nicely into the port. It is a shouldered plug with grip ridges and fits very well. In the event that the one cap failure was not a fluke these are an option for those that do not have access to a lathe. I will be providing the Viega # 43723 (Vendor substitute for Zurn part number QXP3XP with all my future kits. Those that have bought the parts from me please PM me so we can validate what parts you need to get to complete the upgrade. If you have already installed the kit from me, PM me and I will include a new clamp and cap just to be certain there are no issues down the road.
As for my already sold washer kits, PM me and I will send the plug and eat the postage. For future sales, I will include the plug with the washer for the $10 as I bought 100 and at that quantity they are cheap ~$0.50 Each.
For those wanting to source their own parts here are the part numbers from my research. Note; I have only had the QQP3GXPK1 in my hand but the other three are dimensionally similar and designed for the same purpose. So they all should work equally well, the brass ones being heavier by 8 grams.
I crossed that part number and got two other possibilities;
Zurn part number QXP3XP (This one is Acetal-the same family of plastics to which Delrin belongs)
***NOTE***This one is far more commonly available-
Viega # 43723 (still the same acetal material and negligible weight, 2 Grams)
These are the heavier brass style like the attached link
Zurn Part number QQP3GXPK1 (This one is brass, 10 Grams)
Zurn part number QQP3GX (This one is brass also)
After further review: It appears any Test plug designed for 1/2" PEX is a good fit for plugging this port. The advantage of this is they are typically about 50 cents at your local Hardware or Plumbing and Heating store, once you know what to look / ask for. So for a few grams and a couple of quarters, there is no reason not to install one of these to safeguard from any potential failure point in the backcountry. Just my 2 cents!

I have seen posts on a bi pass valve by Ski-doo to use on the pro, and how to install it, any help would be appreciated.
