The radiator is oversized for the stock engine. I know you are joking, but the stock gauge does work. I managed to suck in a bunch of dirt/leaves/twigs between the radiator and a/c condenser so that when going at low speeds up hill, or driving with a tail wind (where it needed the airflow from the fan) it would creep up into the red and jived with temp readings from OBD2. During that time where the area of the fan was blocked off, it never had a problem with the 30% or so area left with normal air flow.
