Need more help then I ever wanted to ask for

I just bought a turbo'ed n/a. Was very profesionally done, but some time ago. It over heated on way home and cracked plastic radiator. Figured no worries put a Koyo in there. Still wants to over heat. Runs in middle of gauge or spikes to hot if I hot rod it. Where do I start? Next thing I was sitting ideling as I was trying to top water off as It makes a crazy pop sound (more then one) right around the oil filter, and I look and there is some oil spater there. Strange, still have pressure and not leaking

I have put like a total of 10 miles on the car. Now the next problem, it was boosting and I was going to bring it close to red line but when I got to like 7k ish I lost boost. So I shifted and havent had boost since. Possible wastegate or blowoff vavle?

LOL found the boost problem, it spit the intercooler pipe underneath. Electric fan had a bad wire. All seems good now. I hit 15lbs and 3 vacume lines blew off. I hope the next 30 miles go better.
