Overheating

Hey Guys and Gals,

I just replaced my stock turbo and when I went out to test drive the car it started to overheat. Overflow tank is full of antifreeze, but I have no heat at all when the car is on. I am thinking that the thermostat went bad but looking for other suggestions as well.

Thanks
Eric

Yeah, replace thermostat right away and don't drive it until you do. This engine features an aluminum head that likes to warp when overheated and then the head gasket blows.
