I jacked the front end up and bleeded the cooling system a bit, there was quite a bit of air in there.
It still gets pretty warm, but not quite as easily though.
I still want to get a heat shroud put around the turbo to keep it insulated, I think that will be the cheapest way to start.

White smoke = coolant (for the most part, it's not 100% but is usually indicative of such)
If you're lifting the heads that would be allowing air to get in the coolant passages and cause heating issues.
Does your coolant level in the radiator stay at the same level?

what would cause me to lift the heads(if thats the case) other then too much boost?
im only running 12psi, so this shouldnt be the issue.

I mean the heads held when it was dynoed and ran at 16 lbs, so 12 lbs should be a walk in the park.

Pressure test the cooling system to check for leaks, including pressure testing the radiator cap.
I'd do a leakdown too w/rad cap off to see if any air bubbles come up in the radiator, that'd indicate air getting into the coolant via the cylinder/head area.

Hopefully it wont need to be there too long, but as long as necessary to make the car working properly.
