water temp problems! please help

According to my pfc commander, when the 13b is warmed up, it reads anywhere between 35-50 degrees celcius. This is way to low! Shouldn't it be running from 90-100 deg? Anyway, the problem is that the car won't reach full boost till after about 50 degrees, which I hardly ever reach. Has anyone ever heard about this one? Could it be a bad sensor or connection? Can it be re- calibrated or something? Please here my cries for help. An FD without boost is like an athlete without steroids. Please help.
thanks in advance.

actually if your running Celcuis. it should be about
85-100 depending on driving and weather...
way to low temp... I think your PFC reading temps are wrong... You can adjust actual temps and reading temps...

just change one of your settings to knock. Press back, then select airtemp or something and change it to knock, scroll it with up and down to get to it, the right to actually select it. then put it on knock and press next again then it should show right up...

for water temp, go to the page for water temp. Its in your settings area. Then tell me the number your see.
it should be like

1.00 1.00
1.04 and I cant remember the rest, just post them, then I will tell you mine.. Hopefully that will help you out.
There should be a display and an actual temp...
