Engine over heats if turbo is used to much, if I keep the speed down below 50mph it runs good.
I pulled the thermostat and that was no help
I pulled the catalytic converter that was no help
I wired the fan to a switch and still no help
the car has lots of power, no stalling and starts good it just over heats
