Do you run coolant? Water? Water wetter? Also do you have an oil cooler? When we tested the coolant-oil heat exchanger found on the 2015+ wrx we saw coolant temps hit 215-220. Once we went to a full oil cooler the coolant temps went back down to the 196-200 range.

ok that explains it , I make a lot more hp than Spec cars
so for stock power levels your modifications should be more than enough and I can understand how you were able to keep those temps that low..
I stayed away from the water wetters after I saw my friend had a bad experience with Redline water wetter (leaves gunk when the coolant is overheated), many people had similar issues with Redline but Amsoil seems to be fine,, either way, they only help to lower the coolant temps about 5-10 degrees on average (if works properly) ..
I have OEM oil cooler which I know is nowhere near close to the airtooil type of stack coolers but I had my reasons to keep the WRX-Forester oil cooler for a while, I will report back how my Cosworth and my hybrid oil cooler project goes
