Water pump can't go the wrong way. If the blades on those are stamped steel, I've seen pumps with a nub where the fins rusted away. check the water pump.

The pump cant go the wrong way, unless somehow your engine is running the wrong way :). What makes you think that its overheating? Just the gauge?

So can you see coolant flowing with the engine running and the cap off or not really? Check the actual coolant temp in a log with Link.

I have said it was the water pump since day one. I hope im wrong chris but I think map should replace it for free since you have just been buying tons of shit from them to try and fix your over heating problem.

Well I just got off the phone with Alex from MAP and I'm dropping off the car tomorrow for them to look further into the hassle of overheating!

I have ECMlink v3 and its set up so that when it gets to a certian temp then the check engine light goes on and when that happens the gauge is about 3/4 of the way to hot!

So can you see coolant flowing with the engine running and the cap off or not really? Check the actual coolant temp in a log with Link.

I cant really tell if its flowing or not because when I turn the car on the coolent level goes up and sits level with the mouth and just kinda vibrates... if that makes sense? I'm thinking that there is some sort of restriction that is causing it to overheat.

Sounds like you've tried a lot of band-aids to cover a serious problem.

And spent alot of money!

I got the mishimoto radiator
F.A.L fan shroud

Then the fan shroud wouldnt fit so I ordered a MAP 02 housing and got that coated which was over 300 dollars

F.A.L fans still wouldn't fit so I bought 2 12" mishimoto slim fans

Got them to both run at the same time, and at all times and alot of money on coolent taking the radiator in and out so many times its just F-in rediculous!

That is my thread with all the crap I had tried on my car. Might be worth scouring through quickly.
