2002 Toyota Tacoma 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive

I have a 2002 toyota tacoma supercharged and after driving it for about 10 minutes the temperture goes to right below the red and if I turn the heater on it goes down but still runs a little hot. I have already replaced the thermostat and ratiator what else can I try to do?

Are you actually overheating-boilover-could be the engine temperature gauge sender acting up or the coolant temperature sensor-

I bought it a couple weeks ago and the toyota dealership said it was something in the supercharger or the block. And it boils over after about 20 minutes of driving unless I turn the heater on high, and it comes back down a bit. Could it have anything to do with the supercharger or something else?
