seems pretty hot to me. I changed my oil the other night roughly 3400 miles on it and I just went through the whole motor less than 15k ago and it seems like the oil was starting to break down or sludge. I assume from heat? I have no cat to add oil pan heat though. Any words on these temps?
BTW this is NOT A factory set up this is stage 3 nordic with td04-15hl turbo and some other work
