In Houston: 25% Dexcool, 75% distilled water, 1 bottle Redline Water Wetter, PFC set at 86,86,88C, fan mod switch, M2 aluminum radiactor, Mazdaspeed replica hood, and original Mazda cooling system cap.

Runs 183 - 186F normally out of the thermostat.
About 190F under long term boost.

You are running 150 what? 150F is too cool by far, 150C and your engine is toast by now.

I run Evans. No water, 0psi pressure cap, never needs flushed, expensive as hell to replace when you do get a leak...
