2.3T cooling issues

m having cooling issues with my 2.3T i have the AC on a NPR inter cooler and a ranger radiator well i can drive it normal and it doesn't get real hot it runs about 190 but i got a 160 thermostat on it i think and it still run warm and it been pretty cool out i know it not getting enough air if i run the hell out of it for a little bit it will get real hot quick im running a 16 ich slim fan radiator mount kit that pushes about 1500 cfm i think not sure at all it not enough so im going to to the fan in the front in a pusher/puller type fan and run another one behind it can some one suggest a fan for me need a pretty strong one to cool it. i was thinking of making a bracket and mounting a fan behind it but room is limited but a good radiator mount fan or one i have to make a bracket for i really need suggestions i dont wanna buy one and have to buy another because it to weak im running around 17PSI boost on it

thanks guys sorry was a quick type up

What kind of gauge are you using? How hot does it get if you use the correct(195°) thermostat? Has it boiled the coolant? Does it get hot at highway speeds, low speeds, or both?

Powerful and sought-after electric fans come from the Tauruses, '90s Lincolns, and '94+ Mustangs. I'm talking 4000-5000 cfm. There is a lot of info on them in the 5.0 forum. Spal also supposedly makes good fans if you feel like spending some money.
