pretty hot outside, so the engines are stressed more than usual.
with about 30 to 35 °C ambient, I see about 82 °C water and 35-45°C inlet temp.  Pushing hard to over 150MPH on Autobahn will rise the water to 95°C and will not drop till about 130MPH. So keep your eys on the temp gauge.

I\'m running BLITZ FMIC and Koyo rad.

Hitting 30 degrees on inlet with Apexi FMIC and water temps on standard rad between 85-90 so nothing to worry about

In theory you should still see similar temps if you are doing constant driving - however, when stuck in traffic, those temps are likey to rise a lot quicker than in colder weather.
