    Do you still have the stock radiator? Is your fan kicking on?

    On the stock gauge? That shouldn't be happening. Flushed the coolant recently?

    Get a Reische 170 t-stat and flush the system. Use water wetter too: http://reischeperformance.com/

    Make sure to follow the burping procedure or else the car will over heat

    I never have my car get that hot with the stock rad. I have the Reische 170 t-stat with Water Wetter.

    Did you burp and fill the system thru the crossover? I like to burp the system with the front end on ramps.
