Default Overheating turbo

Hey guys I just boosted my Integra and we reversed the pullarity on the slim fan we bought, hooked up the turbo, oil pan tapped, bolted it on all that crap. But sometimes when I usually drive randomly it starts to overheat. Do you think its juset my fan not pushing enough air or what?

Why would you reverse the polarity on the fan? What side of the rad did you put it on?
Check the cheapest things first.
-make sure your fan is actually coming on
-check for leaks/fluid level
-change rad fluid
-change thermostat

You running a full sized fan? Half rad?

It is a 10 inch I believe... I was going to get a civic radiator but I got a 10 in instead. I am running the radiator and the fan. Every now and then we hear the fan spooling almost louder than my turbo sometimes....so we know its working

Any cracks/leaks in your rad? Is your coolant being used or kicked back into the reservoir?

the peak boost kit had a issue with this and they upgraded it to a 12" fan and no problems with the kit over heating... it could be its not getting enough air.. like above check other things such as your thermestat and such!
