Pls. ignore if I'm repeating myself...
I have no idea if underhood temps have anything to do with your cooling issue, but on my E36 I was able to lower those temps significantly with a vented hood and Swaintech's White Lightning coating on my headers (
https://swaintech.com/race-coatings/...aust-coatings/). The material is a motorsports-quality product.
On a Volvo V70R that I improved, I put White Lightning on the hot side of the turbo housing, too, as well as all the way back to the exhaust tips.
A minor downside of WL is that if the headers need any welding (e.g., an O2 sensor bung gives up and a new one is called for), the thick ceramic coating needs to be ground off in the area needing welding. That's not a big deal for a shop, though.
