do a leak down/ compression test and boost leak test it too.

Well it could be that you just warped your head a little and now thats why you are over heating. But that shouldn't cause a loss in boost unless you have a very tiny turbo and a really bad warped head. Just do a leak down test like everyone else said and then go from there.
