Raleigh/Durham/Triangle Area Meet
I was thinking if your evoscan is showing cooler temps than the cluster gauge then it could be a faulty sensor (small one in front of the TSTAT) which can be sourced at autozone for $15. Another thing to check for is if you have the proper ground wiring. I ended up running a direct ground to the Tstat housing on my setup.

Now its just the car starting to slowly run hot when the Ac is on. I tested again today and I let it climb to 218 before turning off the AC.
And again the temps dipped a little lower when I was slowing down and getting of the highway then when I was cruising. I'm just about ready to try another radiator. Waiting for Chad from CBRD to get back to me or to hear about pricing on ToxicFab's offerings.

not sure on the cfm fan, but do u mean a low temp thermostat?
makes sense, to allow it to circulate more and compensate for the loss of cooled fluids. but keep in mind, i am only over heating on teh cluster gauge and not the secondary thermocouple that feeds the ecu.
for example, my cluster would read fully hot to the redline, and my evoscan reads normal at 195F.
Thanks justin!

mmmm ok, i will upgrade it as it makes sense from the cooling point of view, but I dont know if it will actualy help fix my issue as it seems to be air pocket related.
justin, do u have one of these?

yea we got em.. call the shop and tabitha can take care of you. my car NEVER saw higher than 185 on the dyno and we had the haltech shut the fuel off in protection mode if it saw 200. i would see around 170 crusiing on the highway. a bad *** fan is the spal(flex-a-lite) number 123 ali
Luckily I do have a Spal fan on there but the 123 model # doesn't seem to exist. So will give the Tstat a try and see how it works.
order has been placed, thanks for the help everyone
