Default car running hot when a/c is on????

Well, I'm having an issue with my 94 del sol Si running REALLY hot when I'm driving with the air conditioner on......I do have a greddy kit installed w/ a front mount on it, I don't know if that affects is in anyway....I figured it was the thermostat so I replaced that, but it still does it. But when I take the air off the temp. goes back to normal. Anyone else have this issue?? Is just cause of the freakin hot *** florida summer that makes the car run hot, or could it be something else?? Hope that made sense to someone else lol

Turbo makes a car run add, and you add in Florida heat, and the heat of the AC... could be normal.

Try draining the old antifreeze, use a higher water %, and use redline water wetter.

It might be your head gasket dude. I had the exact same problem. You better have that fixed before you blow your engine.
