So when are you buying me lunch? I have never had overheating issues with my car and i drove to Homecoming with a Turbo, done many canyon drives and also many drives up north. So you owe me lunch.
RYOGA - Sounds like you have an air pocket in the cooling system. The S2000 is the worst for trapping air pockets. Try bleeding the system again and check for air.
The turbo blanket, and coating and wrap is a good idea for keeping things from melting around the area and keeping under hood heat down but a good running and stable cooling system on a turbo charged car can desipate heat just like it was stock.

So I was sitting at the drive thru line at in and out, and I looked at my dash, and my water temp gauge was creeping passed the halfway mark. I freaked out and turned on the heater, which only made the water temp gauge go up further. Freaking out even more, I just shut the engine off until I got my food. When I did get my food, I immediately wanted to get some air flowing through my engine bay, so I hopped back onto Bell, and the temp gauge went down back to normal. Do you guys have any helpful tips for me to keep my S cool in the summer?

I will keep an eye on it, and bleed my system when I do my next oil change. I have not seen any issues until this point, and I have been stuck at a taco bell and other fast food places with my car running at idle and have not experienced any issues. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR turbo issues are like the clap, they disappear for awhile, then outta nowhere you get an outbreak when you least expect it

its not the turbo/manifold heating the coolant, especially at idle.
its the 1000 degree combustion temps heating the coolant.
its also a catch 22 to fix the big air dam, blocking air to your radiator, aka, the intercooler and AC condenser
get more fresh air to the radiator, problem goes away.
