just got back from a hard drive - part of which was an uphill 4-5 miles long most of the time in boost . Water never got over 89deg c . (192F) Admittedly it was a mild day 20C .
What do you think i should do ?
Track day next week will tell the full story although i don't have any way to check oil temps yet .....

that is such a hard ?.

i would do it the way you have it first, but keep an eye on the h20 temp gauge..

as i had no issues with my new rad with h2o temps, but after my session my instructor drove my car with me in it. and did get it to get hot..

i have not taken the time to pad around the new rad yet.. and the instructor is very fast!!!!

but i got to drive all my sessions! much better than last time..

are you running h20 in the stock oil cooler place?

Good to hear you are getting some track time .
still running water through the RHS cooler - will do some monitoring at the track and maybe a run with that rad blocked off to see the diff.
