Engine Water Temp on I/C Maggie????
 
What are some normal op temps with the I/C Maggie???

Here in Houston, my temps will go to 230^F in city driving with the air on - I suspect due to the I/C covering the radiator. Both fans work correctly having been set by MTI. On the hiway, the temp is ~ 110^F greater than ambient. I had an aftermarket radiator installed by MTI which didn't help that much. Would hi volume fans help keep the temp <220F?????

Never had an issue with my I/C Maggie in Texas. You may want to jack up the car and clean out the Walmart bags from in front of the condenser and then pull the radiator and blow all the junk out of the fins.
