i know i just saw that. but now i am asking about why possibly my coolant temps could be higher than normal... normally its around 180 to 190. and now when i am sitting for a couple minutes at idle it jumps up to ~200...

By coolant temps you mean the engine coolant? If so its cause you've blocked some of the air flow to the radiator. The more crap you stick in front of the radator the less cool air reaches it making it run hotter. If it were my car I'd try to find another location other then in front of the radator to mount it.
Like maybe behind the fog light on the passenger side with its own small electic fan behind it. Thats how I did the oil cooler in my FireBird and it worked great!

everything is correct, Did you remember to put in more coolant? Takes like 4L of coolant, took me 2 days to bleed and get mine full. Fill the overflow spout in front of the supercharger, not the actual coolant tank. Heres how you do it....

Turn engine on, open cap and fill it...air bubbles will come up as the coolant goes to the H/E...once empty, fill again, and repeat process until its full, u will know its full cuz no more air will come up and after the engine has been running, abit of coolant will spill out of the overflow tubes. Temps will go down abit, not alot

My temp get up in the 200s also when sitting still.. From what I have heard that is completely normal for the lsj. No air movement=no cooling.

Is there room to relocate it elsewhere rather then in front of the radiator?
