Incorrect readings from temp sensor? Or is it my Link?
I have a Laser Pyrometer at my shop. My stock temperature gauge doesnt move and at a maximum doesnt reach over 1/2 way on a 15 min drive at redline(not under boost). BUT my link says my temperature is at 111 degrees C! The Pyrometer says its at 175* at a metal thermostat that I added when I did a coolant re-route and At the hottest place 200*F at the spacer I made to hold my temperature sensors at the back of the engine. Even if the temp sensors were reading this it would still be less then 100* C... I dont understand, and its causing my link to shut down the power and retard the timing to cool it down.
Also I am having a problem with my fans. they are running in parallel and through my Link, it was set to come on at 97*C and I turned it down to 80*C, They dont come on until I am parked now and they never really came on unless I was parked also.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Matt

Not running with a Tstat. Both temp sensors are located behind the engine and at that point with a pyrometer it reads 200*F at hottest point. On my Link it says 114*C and my temp gauge has barely moved if at all. At my tstat housing(currently empty) the temperature of the coolant is 185*F (pyrometer).
