Make sure the test drives are at highway speeds as I found that you can open the needle valve too much which will give you great torque down low but at 80-100kph there was not enough bossy and power was terrible with high get/water temp.
I'll give that a go tomorrow

What happens if the car sits idle for a while? After its reached operating temp... Try removing the valves and put it back to stock maybe, and see if theres any difference.

Do you think you may of cooked something at 122C
Doesn't the Scan-gauge have an audible alarm like
my Ecu-Talk, that will sound an alarm @ 100C ??
You'll have a better idea whats going on when you have
the all your gauges fitted.

It's sits perfect 85C at idle. I might pull the valves and see what happens

There is definitely something else at play here.
Noticed nil difference after egr block, exhaust fitment or tillix kit.
I'm thinking possible air lock but these things are good for self bleeding.
Whats the overflow doing when hot?
Filling up?
Have you got the caps the right way around?
Normal cap on radiator and pressure cap on top tank??

A bit of a mystery thats for sure, cant see it being anything major.
Do one thing at a time so you'll know what is causing this.
you have the air solenoid looped off at the air filter?
cant see that doing it though
still thinking false reading, only because there was no steam
or boiling, from reaching 122C

Yeah but both gauges skyrocketed. Unless the sensor is faulty
