Default hey need some help overheating sohc T!!

hey guys well first off this is my set up i just bot built umm i would say about 3k ago ran it na for probably 1k and rest boosted light on base map...but never ever gave it full throtal or anything......

d16z6
arp head studs tq to 76ft/p
eagle rods
srp 9-1 pistons
new oil pump
thought the water pump was good my mistake put the used one on i think..
stock head
y8 manifold drilled four holes for vacume source
ebay intercooler and bov...
miniram manifold and a 60trim turbo... sorry if i for got anything that might help...

but my problem is that well first off my fan was not kidding on what so ever...on my s300 it would say it was getting 215 or so.. and the check engine light would come on... but i would have never new if i didnt look at the s300 cuz my gauge was not even to the half but then i wire the fan strait to the bat.... and i would do a third gear pull during my street tune at 8 pounds or so and as soon as i left off we could watch the temp just go up up up.....but then in a min or so would just go right back down... and i could drive at normal speed and be just fine never over heat up too much at all then i go to the dyno...and i was like shoot i gotta fix this first...so i was going out still doing the same thing.. so i felf my lower rad hose and it felt cold..and didnt have pressure... like the thermo was bad i just put a brand new one in...so i popped the rad cap and let it run and run.. no bubble and it never got back to the lower side.... so i took it out again and sure enough it heated up but i came back and the lower rad had pressure.. just was not really hot dont know if cuz the fan was blowing on it....but ya... so thinking my water pump is maybe bad... or the thermo was bad... but i decided to take out the thermo to tune on the street....and of course it can barrly get to op temp but i was tuning anyways and it will still go up in temp after i boost a bunch...never gets toooo hot now.. but will still bring the temp of after a few continious pulls...... any ideas?

i have red a few things where peoples heads were lifting....but i have head studs and there is no oil in the water or water in the oil....

BTW runnign about 11-15 maxpsi for some reason my boost is creep up on me.. :

Did you check the thermostat when you took it out if the little bypass was on the top?
