Are you losing coolant? Have you done a PROPER bleed of the system, i.e. with the heat on?

yea mine does the same thing. long drives, it gets WAY hot. sucks.

what im going to try is running two slim fans covering the whole radiator instead of just the stock on i have now, and run a toggle switch inside the car which will turn on the second fan to try to help matters.

i also have a smei clogged cat, and still sotck exhaust, so once ive fixed that the headers wont get as hot, and the temps might be better from that as well. also important to note i dont have a turbo, but my suggestion may help you.

double check (although im sure you did) that your relay clicks and the fan comes on once its warm/hot.

good luck, and if you find a flaw in your cooling system thats a repalacable part, post the info here

I had this same problem, my intercooler was blocking my radiator. So I cut some material off of my grill to let more air into the radiator.
