Air and Coolant temp on power fc

I have heard that the coolant guage is not very reliable in the fd but i have a power fc and was wondering what temp should the air be and also the water temp i think i might be running kind of hot but not quite sure just put a single in and want to make sure its not running overly hot and me having to rebuild or find another turbo to replace. thanks

everyone syas their run between 88-94C. mine runs between 93-99C. But it also depends which intercooler you have. I have a Greddy 2 row FMIC that blocks the **** out of my radiator.

My water temps never get above 86 degree celcuis when I'm driving or stopped. I do have the fans coming on sooner though. My charge temps are around 30-36 degree c during the day and 24-28 degree c at night. I'm also running a fluidyne rad and a blitz fmic.

Coolant temps around 83-88, but I deleted my a/c, which made a huge diff. Also running an ASP race SMIC.

Air temps, once the car is warmed up, typically in the 30s for street driving. Anything above 60 or so and I'd say you have a problem. At a certain point the pfc will compensate and (i believe) retard the timing to save the motor. With high AITs, definitely not smart to beat on the car.
