I'm wondering if the intercooler, and aircon fans are restricting flow too much, plus the AC condensor, if maybe the thicker radiator is just too thick, and/or the high flow thermostat is flowing coolant too fast...

OR! if there's something else I should consider... or maybe the temperatures are fine...

have i missed something? sounds normal.

all engines become effient at above 100*C..

you should measure the temp of the lower radiator hose, to make shure your rad/fan combo will work on 40+* days..
