You could use the EMUs internal logger and then dump to a laptop after the run. Doing so requires this device to trigger the logger: http://www.mohdparts.com/emanage/pho...s/DSC05808.JPG
Actually, I'm sure there's a way to do it with a simple switch, I've just been too lazy to figure it out...

my easy DIY coolant reroute
Insert a T between the thermostat and radiator, then cap off the mixing manifold. Note that my coolant system contains about 30 hose clamps.
Hmmm, as I post this I notice there is a mistake in my drawing. I'll have to do it again and upload it. Still, it is just a mixing manifold bypass. Be sure to check your water flow if you screw around with using this method to cool your turbo. All water to the TB and intake manifold has been blocked off.

With your setup, you shouldn't be seeing 104 in traffic for long with those fans. I have one 16" spal that pulls 2500cfm and it takes about 30 seconds for it to pull the coolant temp down from 100c to 92c when stopped. That's with a big intercooler and a/c condenser in front of the rad, and a 30/70 water/coolant mix.
What are your oil temps doing when the coolant temp rise occurs? If they're not elevating dramatically, then pulling air through the cooler won't do much for the coolant temp. If you do need/want a fan, go for an ATV fan.
Have you tried running the heater "full on" while sitting in traffic to see what that does?
Are you sure the tstat is fully opening?

i run the all metal automatic factory radiator and have never had a problem with my coolant temps. i did the coolant reroute on my car, here's a link to diagrams and some pics of mine on my site. http://www.miatamx5.com/coolantreroute/index.html
the piping and thermo housing will all be redone shortly by TurboTim(ShoreMotorsports), we got some trick setup planned.

One of those two hoses just broke as I was bringing the car back from the shop and I just bypassed both of them and closed the water circulating circuit as per your link but without modifying anything else.
Thanks,
Rafa
