I'm pretty sure he is talking about radiator fluid temprature.

I think 200 is when the fan is supposed to kick on. You may want to try a new cap/thermostat. I don't kow what else to say. Not very experienced or had problems really

Actually that's a pretty good temp. Nothing dangerous. Most modern vehicles' thermostats open all the way around 190 F. So 210 for a turbo is particularly good!

A fluidyne radiator and the fan on all the time at 220-230..Thats to hot..
Maybe get a thermostat that opens earlier ..like mugen or whatever..
You should be around 180-190 wether you get on it or not..

With my old turbo setup I never went over 85*Celsius. That was under all driving conditions. Unless I did a 5th gear pull or something.
