coolent temps norm xcept when boosting????
ok ive got it to stay with safe operating temps when I drive as long as im not boosting past 1-2 psi. but when I jump on it the temps go up 17-18 higher than they should be. goes from 96-97 to 114C. any idea on what would make it run ok when not boosting but when i get on it it causes the temps to rise so high? thanks!

i have other problems with my car at this time. its boosting around 5-6psi. but either way, when im at high rpms and boosting it gets hot. how do i tell if its slipping or not? I believe it has the Greddy pulley on it fyi
