I'm running 13-16psi (whatever dejon MBC wants to run) and when im doing a 3rd gear pull my engine temp rises very high, not over-heating but high enough to alarm me if I was to raise the boost anymore. What I am wanting to know is this a IC problem or a thermosat? Should I get a lower temp one?
Thanks for the help.

Do not get a lower temp thermostat, they don't cool your motor, the radiator does.

Is there anything blocking your radiator such as a FMIC or bugs and road grime?

Are your cooling fans coming on at 210*?

Are you pushing any coolant out of the overflow bottle or running low on coolant?

If after you hose out your radiator, AC condenser and FMIC (if applicable), and rule out a cooling fan problem, I might guess you have a bad head gasket.
