The TB coolant line is a great source. Don't know who told you placing the sensor there was slow. Just the opposite....my gauge reacts at least as fast as my PFC.
There are so many variables (radiator, 1 or 2 oil coolers, ambient temps, engine tune etc) that looking at temps from other cars probably won't do you a lot of good. But FWIW, today locally it was in the low 80's F. and I was seeing ~175 to 180 F. (80 to 81 C.) at cruise...slightly higher after boost.
