I'd say so, my GTI does the same when I'm beating on it.

Default normal, especially if you're running APR's chip that hits ~20psi in your '01.5
I would always see 220-225 with the GIAC X chip. On the track, I was seeing 250-260+


APR stage 3 sees 220, but on hot days flogging it with the a/c on, I've seen 250+. I fear what temps it could reach on the track.
