Aux fans turn on at approx 105C. Sounds like your car is operating right where it should be. Since your cooling system seems to be completely new, I think you are covered in that regard.

How is your fan clutch? When you turn the engine off, does the plastic engine fan stop pretty quickly? Or does it free-wheel for an extended amount of time? That is the other main contributor to proper engine temperature in these cars. If the fan clutch does not lock up enough when the engine gets hot, it's not cooling it as efficient as it could be.
