Default Car runs warm after high rpm's

I have a 95 (obd1) turbo'd gsr swap/ls tranny in my hatch, and after high rpm's the temperature needle goes up and then drops down to normal after awhile .. I'm running the Precision medium intercooler, koyo half radiator and fal slimline fan which is what I think the problem is (intercooler too thick and blocking radiator) .. Is there anything I can use to prevent the temperature from going up towards the hot area ? My fan is wired to be on whenever the car is on, and now I'm reading something about 'water wetter' but am pretty clueless at this point ..

TIA .

try placing the fan in front of the radiator as a pusher not puller

So have the fan actually in the engine bay instead of like towards the outside of the car ?

If it's wired up in front of the radiator, be sure it is wired up to push air into it. Push, not pull.
