So here's the background and potentially relevant mods on the car.
Stock Motor
P1SC Intercooled Procharger
Meth/Water injection
Longtube headers
Mishimoto triple core radiator installed in December
Mishimoto Electric Fan installed in december
MSD 2-Step Launch Controller installed in December
New Water Pump Installed in December
Took car to the a shop because it was overheating when the A/C was turned on. If you turn the A/C off and put it to blow Hot air into the cabin the car will return to operating temps within a minute or two.
Shop Replaced Thermostat and Thermostat housing
Shop has flushed the cooling system and promises no air in the system.
Shop has replaced the CHT (Cylinder Head Temp sensor)
Shop has changed oil/filter (claimed oil was low)
Shop has re-charged A/C
Shop has verified the Fan is kicking on.
Shop claims that when the car is reading that it is overheating it is reading 280 degrees on their Handheld device but with a temp gun its reading between 190-202 on different areas of the system.
This issue happened around March when the weather here in Texas started to get warmer.
Techs are stumped. Any ideas?
