Wire your fan so it comes of with the ignition in the on position

Maybe 20PSI, new computer, new 3" VAM, and some porting will make it faster

Wiring it off of the ignition switch is a band-aid fix.

Find out what you did wrong. It all worked before you put the temp gauge in, so figure out what's different and go from there.

You didn't mention how you wired the gauge in, so it's hard for any of us to tell exactly what you've got going on there.

Did you,by any chance, replace or disconnect the sensor which signals the computer to turn on the fan?
