One thing you can guarantee is that turbo converted I5's in smaller chassis
cars don't have a ton of cooling capacity, especially if you're using a stock
core.  High oil temps will be transmitted into the coolant quite quickly.

Exactly my point all along, that's what doesn't make sense to me, something
sounds fishy about your gauge, but only testing will tell I guess.  Anytime
I've increase either coolant or oil cooling capacity, on the street or track,
in dozens of different cars, both were effected in a cooler way.
