And when I went WOT on the highway and let off, the temps go back down to 190-192, and then creep back up as I cruise. It's so retarded.

I mean I fixed my coolant/air leak, I wrapped the coolant lines around the turbo, and it still likes to run hotter than it should.

Did you get a cooler running Stat?? also are you using the dex-coolant?

if you using the dex coolant dont it will clog up the system. also wrap the exhaust pipe that will help to keep the engine bay cooler...
and installing a 3rd fan on the front of the rad will help alot...

if you need more help Pm me ..
