so over the past few days I've put my creation thru its paces... but im running into overheating issues, even at start up.
at cold start, the guage will keep climbing past the half way point and the electric fans turn on as well.
Living in canada is **** ing cold so I dont see what is going on.

I take the freeway to work and only stop at 2 traffic lights, 22-25 minutes to work. by the time i get there driving at a granny pace (NO BOOST) the guage has peaked just under the top of the guage.

Oil, Coolant level is normal and the thermostat is brand new after i stomped on the original 5s-fe one. No leaks!

When i got this engine running as a 5s-ge is never had this problem (I put 600kms on it in One day@ regular operating temp) and remember, I rarely boost it going to work now thats its turbo'd.

Advice? quesiton me if u need more info regarding this situation.

you can't base throwing a turbo on it to be the reason its over heating, it probably would have happened eventually and just happened to happen when you turbo'd the car, just a conscience,

i stated i wasn't boosting it, meaning the turbo has no effect on what is going on..... the issue just suddenly happened
