Default overheating problems while dyno tuning...help please!

hey guys..just came back from a "wonderful" day of tuning...anyway...i was at R&D dyno finally getting my aem ems tuned...we ran into some cooling issues with my car...usually my car doesnt run really hot, but when darren was tuning my car...the car ran dangerously hot...i have a 4th gen prelude si turbo...and my temp gauge almost went all the way to the point of overheating...i dont understand why the problem would occur though..i have a Koyo all aluminum racing radiator and 1 slim fan attached to it, i had two but the other didnt have enough room to fit...but shouldnt that radiator be thick enough and strong enough to keep temperatures fine for turbo?...i dont get it, my head gasket is fine cuz no oil in my coolant, and my fan is turning on...anyone have any advise? thanks for all your help in advance

thermostat, bleed coolant system, or radiator cap needs to be replaced

Maybe 1 fan isnt enough? How was airflow during dyno?
