Hey Fritz, I too rarely see over 87 with AC off or 91 with AC on regardless of ambient temps my self Twins are pushing 14PSI here too! The M2 airbox, KoyoNflow, proper ducting and gap filling and more importantly my second Oil Cooler have drastically reduced my temps!
Anything over 85 degrees and I really can't track a mostly stock FD without some SERIOUS cooling mods especially on the intake side. Because once intake temps go to 60c you're in danger at 70c you'll blow your motor.
So what am I saying here is a mostly stock FD that doesn't get hotter EVER than 87c is a freak. Do you smell wtf I be stepping in on this heaunh subject
My track car doesn't see over 85c on the water no matter how hot it is but the oil can go to 210, big coolers and no ducts with a GTC front bumper and a oil only cooled t04e will cause high oil temps. If the oil was going over 240 I'd address this but I run synthetic and the turbo has held up very well so clearly this isn't causing any harm.

For something as critical as a radiator, why would you roll the dice with plastic end tanks when it's been proven the ASTs - constructed of similar material - fail left and right on these cars?

Our '94 now has over 102K miles on the factory engine. If the coolant seals fail at say, 125-126K miles (as mentioned elsewhere), I also consider that an acceptable lifespan.
