Possible overcooling?
Okay so I had recently bought a 160' degree t-stat (not stant) for my 87' turbo. Upon furhter research I decided to go with a 180' , what exactly should I be reading for water temp, the car was cooling and coolant was flowing (no overflow or leaks) I was in between 150-180 about 165' and upon spirited driving around 180' but it would cool down right away. Is it overcooling? and why?
Note: I do have a a exhaust leak from my turbo flange to exhaust flange and am losing boost if that were to make a difference? Thanks for any help.
Edit** It was pretty cool out if about -1 degree celsius if that makes a difference

After I took out my AC condenser I noticed my temps rarely get above ~170-180 according to my Rtek. Even this last weekend drag racing my temps never got above 180. Before I took out the condenser I used to see quite a bit higher though, especially with prolonged uphill driving.
