FML... 220* temps
Because my tard self didn't actually look for the temp gauge and just assumed it was water temp hooked up somewhere down by the waterpump... So, i drove it today and it was reading what I thought was warmer than it should...
apparently it is actually reading oil temp, that's why it was acting all weird and inconsistent... fans never coming on, OEM gauge never moving, ect...
Sensor in the top of the oil pump housing where that plug usually is...
ambient 107*, OIL temp 200* in traffic, up to 220* in 5th at 75mph, drops a little in 6th gear, drop fast as soon as i slow down. was trying to stay in boost to see what would happen. 220ish was it. I'M assuming this is probably good...
