when you turn of your car tuch the top and the bottom they should be hot if one is way coolder then your radiator is cloged

to me this seems like a blown head gasket man..if you have heat and pressure inside your radiator and are loosing fluids to somewhere..then its a strong candidate for a headgasket failure.

i agree with liquid cool, sounds like a blown head gasket, if you water cooled the turbo could be cracked passage. tell tale sign of a blown head is white steem discharge from the tailpipe. and to cover my a$$ sake should mention a cracked head or block will do the same. you can also check under your oil cap to see if you have any milky white or yellowish buildup, this may indicate a coolant leak into the crank case. if all else fails take it to a shop and have them block test it( round 30-40 bucks) that will tell you definatly if you have internal coolant system pass through. best of luck to ya

the car runnning fine before i install the turbo . i hear couple people said if blow head gasket the car cant built no boost but my car running 8lbs of boost right now

yea but you could have blown a certain area of the head gasket making the boost from one of the cylinders bush into a coolant collant . and its really not a wise choice just popping on a turbo without at least freshening up a motor even at 8 pounds.
