hey,
Its most likely the radiator. When Toyota designed the car they sized the components to work with each other. You added a turbocharger, which increased the exhaust back pressure as well as increased the power output. Both of these things increased the heat in the engine. Your cruiser was designed for the 3B at its original power output, the turbo and operating your cruiser in central america , gasp near the equator. You have 2 choices 1) reduce the heat load in the cruiser(lower the power, ie. remove the turbo) 2) increase heat rejection rate(more cooling capacity)(assuming your cooling system is operating correctly). My FJ/BJ mutation had the same heating issue and adding a triple pass, optima radiator solved the over heating issue.

P.S. I turned my fuel screw out 3 1/2 turns and am pushing 15-18 psi.(even if Dougal says I can't)
