is this normal temperature?

[silverend]

hello, we just bought a '03 strada, yong maximum reading kasi ng temp. guage nasa 1/2, at stable naman siya don even hours of driving. sabi kasi ng pinsan namin na may strada '96, sa kanila daw nasa 1/4 lang yong temp. maximum. sabi naman ng mekaniko na tinanong namin, normal lang daw nasa half kasi intercooler ,( i dont know technically what he means). para sa mga strada owners or any mitsubishi with the same engine, curious lang kami kung ganto din ba sa inyo? thank you

I think normal lang siya, minsan kasi yung N/A 4D56 namin halos umaabot din ng kalahati in a very hot day pero normally 1/4 lang ang temperature indication niya...
