another overheating prob

[custompainter]

hey peps
i'm calling out for some help here
my car is over heating and i can't figure out why to save my life
i bought a new thermo today, bled the system. everything was good, took it out ran it up pretty good. next thing i know it's over heating again. i brang it back took out each spark plug and checked to see if any looked different - nothing ? they all looked good. so i tryed this trick i heard of where you take a spark plug out and turn it over and see if theres any coolant. anyway i did all four and nothing. there are no leaks it seems to be loosing a little coolant but i cant figure out from where. i'm thinking maybe head gasket. but there are no signs that it is. on my other thought i'm thinking that my turbo might be cracked, on the water jacket. somewhere in side and letting it out there. but i've never heard of that before so i'm not to sure about it.
anyone give me some help here

check your oil. see if there is coolant mixed in there.

do a pressure check on your radiator. it will check to see if there is a leak in the system to.

i have checked the oil it's good
i'll call my buddy tomarrow and see if he can to a presure test for me

i was reading a page just a minute ago and i read that the oil could drive the temp up realy high but they didn't say anything realy on it so i need to know has anyone heard of the oil causing a problem with temp and over heating

overheating

the only oil i know of causing the engine to overheat is automatic trans, when it is over full.
the pressure test will be good, if you have no visual leaks then i would suspect the turbo.

didn't you just install that turbo? this is why i said you should tune it, odds are if you tuned it, you would be fine.
