Default Is there a deffinant fix to y8 turbo overheating?

To answer all dumb ?'s Yall may have first, yest, I searched, yes the head gaskets been replaced, warpage tolerable to under .002, yes new head bolts, yes fan works, yes new thermostat(170*), yes new rad cap and yes it has a triple core radiator. An no its not running lean. So either its the water pump tho never overheated before turbo, heat soaking from oil or coolant. Maby a oil cooler but I only turbo to make more money on the vehicle. Ur questions welcomed.....

overheating with singles is associated with headlift usually...but this doesn't sound boost related if its happening during normal driving..stick to the basics.

Pushing coolant during boost?

Is your fan running in the right direction? Does it have a shroud?

Over heats city driving but will still creep on highway. Never goes passed 3/4 and the fan is pulling. Tuned by the most reputable guy in Wisconsin, an I'd hope its not lifting on only 7psi. Seems to be more like expanding the coolant to a 1/4 in overflow than pushing.

still sounds like you're getting head lift if you're pushing coolant into the overflow.
