Figured it out guys. I went with a big 16" puller fan and junked the two ebay fans. Doesn't over heat at all now. Thank you so much for the help. The hottest I saw sitting in traffic yesterday was 205*. Hopefully this thread can help some other turbo guys, don't buy ebay fans lol

Ebay fans are ****. Just don't move enough air. I have two of them on my truck. Just picked up a used f-body fan/shroud combo to replace them. They do look nice though.

Glad you got it squared away OP.
