Pete_89T2 is on a distinguished road
On the mostly uphill run, I was seeing a peak of 185~190F on my coolant, and 190~195F on my oil temps. Off climb/low load conditions it cooled down quickly to 170/170F water/oil temps. That's with a basically stock '89 FC turbo - still running the stock radiator, clutch fan & oil cooler. Coolant is 50/50 Prestone (standard green stuff), with no additives. Ambient temps make a huge difference with my FC - if ambients were over 90F, I would expect my water & oil temps to both peak around 210F on the uphill runs.
