Anyway, today i stopped by my local dealership and picked up an OEM radiator cap ($27 ouch). Installed it and bled the system, car drove ok for 5 minutes but then the temp went up. Re-bled it and after 15 minutes of spirited driving (up to 4.5k rpms) the gauge stayed dead in the center. Thanks everyone for giving me valuable input, looks like the psycho gf is here to stay.

the gauge stays dead in the center, thats what it does from what... 140F-220F?

27 for a fucking radiator cap

if you're going to be a cheapass, bare minimum: buy yourself a real water temp gauge

That was silly. Could have bought a generic one(its a freaking rad cap) at any number of auto parts stores for half the price and put the other half of that cash towards a new rad...
