Help w/ Adjustable Fan Controller

[perks563]

I have a Flex-a-Lite dual fan set up in my car. To control them, I purchased and installed the following controller:

JEGS Performance Products 52126 JEGS Adjustable Dual Fan Control Kit w/ Dry Temperature Sensor

My problem is that the fans keep cooling the car to below 170* (I have them set to come on at 200*). I think this is because the temp sensor is connected to an intake manifold bolt, as recommended in the instructions. Since the coolant has a different cooling rate than the bolt, I think that is my problem. The coolant is cooling off, but the bolt is staying the same temp.

Has anyone used this set up or one with a similar temp sensor? Can I bolt the temp sensor somewhere else to get a more accurate reading?

Old thread but I tied mine in to the factory coolant temp sensor on my 2g thermostat housing and it runs fine. Fans come on at 195 and turn off at 180. No issues yet.
