    any quality cooloant is good, i switched to techtalloy green because the nulon red stuff made it look like there was rust in my cooling system.

    200degrees is huge for water temp
    maybe the thermo is blow air through the radiator instead of sucking - check the polarities are correct

    turbo motors tend to run hotter as the turbo heats up the oil
    maybe look at a bigger radiator such as a celica one
    make up some shrouds to direct air to the radiator
