hey
i've got a 99 uk turbo, and was wondering wot engine oil temp my car should be running fully warm and is it normal for boost to vary slightly as the temp goes up and down....
only mod's are air filter and full de-cat with sports cat

cheers

My bugeye WRX runs at about 90 degrees most of the time but has been know to creep up to 95 after a spirited drive. I did a search after fitting my gauges and that seemed to be about the norm.

I have a prodrive panel filter and a cat back exhaust so mods not too different to yours.

Hits 85 - 90 on average, 95 on a spirited drive. 100 when standing still and just reving away...as I found on the Tunnel Run

mine use to sit at 100 in summer, but anything over 110 you will need an oil cooler or in return you will get a early morning fry up

mine was hitting 110's in the hot parts of last summer, and now have a nice shiney oil cooler , well was shiney when it was fitted lol

05 wrx (>340BHP) normal driving, fully warmed up using Motul 10w40 300v sits a tad over 90c.

After a spell of hard driving the most I've seen is 98c..

Yet to go over 100 and Defi warning set at 105c, although I can't ever see me hitting that..

Obviously not driving hard enough..

Something to also bear in mind, I never over fill my oil. Halfway between min/max when cold. The more oil you run the cooler it will be..

03STI with oil cooler, Motul 5W-40, 80 in any normal driving, 105 on track. Mate has 06STi, no cooler, same oil, 100 normal, 120 on track, seems to get away with it.
