overheat after 16g

[herovueboi]

i just installed my 16g turbo and now the car overheats when it's warm. I have already replaced coolant, oil, and turn on the a/c so the fans both come on and replaced the thermostat. i reallie think it might be my radiator or something else, could someone give me any other idea's that would make my temp go over to the "Red Hot" bar on my temp? Thanks!

I installed my B16g didnt have any problems overheating I am guessing you hooked all the hoses back up to the turbo that run coolent threw it or else you wouldnt have coolent. but off on a limb your thermostat could of gone bad or your water pump could of gone out
Are you leaking any coolent at all ?

ran it lean...hum...could it be because I have no fuel pump upgrade yet..?

thats would i might say is happening. i even have a fuel pump and ran 10psi and mine would get hot with that 20g. i would say turn the boost way down until proper fuel mod's.

Did you burp the cooling system when you refiled it. Alot of people just fill it up after they drain it and go from there. You need to leave the car running for awhile with out the rad cap on so that all the coolant passages fill up first. The let it heat and cool and fill it again if it is low. You may have an air bubble in it and not know it.
