Hi ppl, got a question for all you turbo owners.

Just recently ive noticed that on idle out temp guage sits at 90, which isnt a problem but when we drive it quite hard, i.e. motorway speeds it drops to 60 and stays there till we slow down. Anyone else get similar readings or any ideas as to what causes it?

In mine oil sits just below 90 as does water. When in traffic water gets hotter, oil stays about same. When caning it water cools a little (due to air over rad) but oil gets really hot (due to turbo)
P.S. - I have oil and water gagaes which is how i know - i dunno if urs does or not.
