I also got the larger sized Koyo radiator, but that's about all the changes in terms of cooling.

That's in a mix of stop/go and some crusing @ 50 mph or so. If I were in true stop and go it would probably be closer to 95-100 C. That's what I remember from last summer. See my mods in my vbgarage, I don't have any special parts other than an aftermarket radiator, smaller battery, etc. Single oil cooler, no special ducting....

I drove mine all day today in 100 degress with ac and the temp never really went up. Maybe I just got a really good one.

my temps stay on the low side of normal. around 86 C. I have front mount, a/c though it needs charged, and i havent put my undertray back on yet. I live in Tx so needless to say it gets F***ing hot out here. I have an adjustable thermal switch from jeggs that turns my fans on at any temperature i want. It's tied into relays 2 and 4, which are not connected to the ECU anymore.
