Default Temp gauge problem since boost.

Hey all, I recently just boosted my 4th generation Accord and have a head-pounding issue with my temperature gauge. It was acting perfectly fine before I boosted the car and now it is malfunctioning.

While tuning, Uberdata AND Crome both registered cruising temperatures between 195-197 but my gauge would always read hot. As soon as I'd goose the gas a little, the gauge would drop the the halfway mark. Over the last week, I have replaced the thermostat, the radiator cap, the radiator (with an all aluminum unit), and both the temperature sensors underneath the distributor, I even re-wired one of the sensors because the clip was busted. Not only have I done those things, but it's been bled 3 times using 2 different methods.

I have a cooling fan running whenever the ignition is on, but the other fan does not come on at all it seems. I'm not sure.

Has anyone run into the same or similar problem? I'm thinking I'm going to wire the other fan to run constantly as well and replace the other 2 sensors. Aside from those things if it doesn't work I'm fresh out of options. I appreciate any comments in return, thanks!

Colin

I may have solved my issue. I am going to reground the engine in 2-3 spots and wire that fan to stay on constantly. After a little digging it seems that a few of my grounds are flexing a little much since I had to remove the front torque mount.
