if your over heatin with no thermostat, something is not right.
try wraping the turbo it self, and are you geting good flow to the the radiator, make sure nothing is preventing air from flowing, "bunch of bent fins, leaves, dead birds" and you can turn on the heat

No. A lean idle and cruise would though. If you're running lean enough to overheat like you explain under load you'll melt the engine in no time. You have a fucked headgasket most likely.

i should have thought of this earlier, but maby your water pump is messed up, my old d16 would overheat, typically when i was ------- around on the high way, and then it would stop, turned out to be the water pump,,, just another thing to look in to
