As said above, you should be seeing 88 - 92C range in normal running conditions. Main thermostat is rated at 88C, opening temperature. EGR thermostat messes with the ECT when it has failed, even if the main 'stat is somewhere in range.

BTW, you shouldn't need to "try to get it higher", it will just go there if working correctly, as you continue driving.
