    A secondary radiator fan? The coolant temp really doesnt affect EGT's. My radiator fan doesnt even work right now and It doesnt give me a single problem other than overheating after idling 5+ minutes

I know people that run temps up to 1500 for very short spurts.
    i have gotten mine up to 1350 but it was on a ten minute uphill, the previous owner (a vw mechanic) installed a super legit secondary fan that keeps it fairly low most of the time
