i checked all the fan settings and everything is the same. will overheat when its on the 3bar, doesnt overheat on the 1 bar. sounds weird but its the only thing i change and it doesnt overheat.

So are the fans running when it's overheated, or no? That
is the first diagnostic "cut".
Maybe the 3-bar has a default "no e-fans" selection, or
a crazy low fan-defeat MPH, or something.

well. now its overheating on both tunes.
ive tried the following:
stock thermostat with a bunch of holes drilled in it
160* thermostat
160* thermostat with holes
no thermostat
it has goten better with no thermostat now, i can sit for about 3-4 min but it slowly and slowly creeps up to 225-230ish
i cant think of what else it can be,

Did you do some "beating on it"??? With forced induction, are the heads still "down on the block"??
Looking at your other posts, the overheating appears to be an ongoing problem. Add in the inj problems, I'd say it's time for a leakdown check...
