it might have to do with your fans not kicking on cause you said it cools down a little when driving it.Did you check your thermostat yet?

it gets weirder now that you mention the therma. i replaced the thermastat last week and it drives a little hotter than it did before. and still idles hot and the fans dont turn on... but if you turn the car on and the ac is on the fans will keep it from going over half until i drive it... but after it heats up it wont cool off until you idle then for some reason it cools a little and so on....

hmm thats weird well after you get that gauge you will be able to tell if its just your gauge messing with you or if its a real problem. and if you get the gauge and it reads hot then the only other thing i can think of is you got a clog some were

Yep, that's what I have. One of the better valves since it's impossible for it to leak boost. I like how it sounds when it dumps full boost pressure (25psi), but if you don't like the whistle when it dumps at part throttle, you can always take out the fin.

Oh, your post implied it was being done by someone else. Hopefully it will pull the times out of your car that it's capable of because I know you've spent a hell of a lot of money on it.
