hi dave, i like your driving style.
One reason I got rid of the 745Ti, at 14psi that thing was lethal. I'd have hurt myself or worse yet someone else.

what fans are you running?
Radiator fan is from a '93 940, with the driver's side cut down to fit the 240 radiator, I rivited the cut off piece back on the trimmed down shroud to make a good seal. The condenser fan is from a '92 240. Temperature sensor is a 92ºC on 87ºC off SAAB unit in an inline SAAB fitting in the upper radiator hose. This controls the low speed side of the 940 fan. I may add a high speed controller later if needed, time is my enemy just now.

The whole thing is written up with a bunch of other folk's comments at
