Last night my girlfriend and I decided to go for a cruise through some not so congested areas (almost impossible in Illinois).Well, for about a 1\2 hour I was getting on it pretty hard. Then we stopped for about 2 minutes in a parking lot and I just happened to look down at my temp. gauge. I have only seen it go to just passed center on the guage when I assumed it was at it's hottest. But while sitting there it reached almost two notches passed center but then cooled back down when I started driving again. Is this normal? Did I push the turbo to hard? Any input would be greatly appreciated.P.S. I checked my oil right after that and it was fine.

When you stop after running hard, long etc. and circulation, hence cooling through the radiator, ceases, the thermostat will reflect a higher reading. As you saw, when you start up again you get a more normal operating range reading. Everything is fine.

...and I drive it hard. I have always been amazed how the gauge stayed pegged in the middle! If mine started doing that, I'd look into it.
