I'd like to know, also. 95 degrees here today, and even after 15 minutes on the highway at 1700 rpms (60mph) my temps never get BELOW 125 (Radix 112HH w/ stock boost). Seems WAY high to me... In traffic, the temps stayed around 135.

Honestly, gdev, that is normal. My old Radix did the exact same thing. With a 112 or 122, once it warms up, you won't see it fall back down. Part of it is the design and part of it is the IAT sensor location.

With my TVS, cruising on the freeway its usually right at 12* above what my mirror temp shows. If I sit in traffic for a while, it does warm up, but goes back down within a few minutes of driving.

When im cruising with my STS its roughly 10 above ambient. But if I stop, since I just have my exhaust dumped, sitting in traffic will create a lot of heat with the exhaust + heat of just the road.
