I finally have it running ok, It pulls very hard, but still idles very ruff and only see 9psi of boost.

I did fix the timing belt, and the cas was 180 out. It runs good, but it will over heat. The guage says it's over heating and so does my logger, but it doesn't seem like it is, there is no boiling of coolent, fans work, I did replace the t-stat with a 180 last fall. Not sure where to start. It has 3000 mile old coolent, and a turbo with about 90 miles on it. No codes, and the car has almost all new parts. Can the engine have 150 155 149 151 compression and still have a blown head gasket?



thanks Derek
 
oh the logger said 260 the first time, and then 245 tonight after i thought it was fixed

how do i tell if i have enough coolent

thanks Derek
