It won't cause any "problems" per say, other then it will take forever for your car to warm up in comparison to with it.

Have you tested your new thermostat? Boil some water in a pan and drop the thermostat in and it should open up. Removing the thermostat is just a band-aid fix, if it fixes anything at all. Have you burped the air from your system since you have a new radiator, cap, and thermostat?

Ive burped it the best i could every time i would put water in it it would close the thermastat but i kept adding water tell it was full took about 45 min.And i dont know the stock location of the resavoir but mines behind the bumper on the passenger side.

Without a thermo, your engine will never reach optimum temp and the ECU won't see close-loop. As a result the car runs rich and performance and mileage suffers.
As far as I remember correct me if Im wrong.

I hope not my car already runs rich as hell And a off comment when my car boost up it peaks 20 the goes to constant 15 is that normal

You have some boost creep issues.
Is your mod list up to date?
