Is it possible that a tune can cause my 14 ST to overheat? I bought the car wrecked from an insurance auction and fixed it up replacing the stock intercooler with a new stock one (among other cosmetic items). The stock radiator looks fine so it has not been replaced. No cooling hoses were tampered with so I doubt there's air in the system.
I am certain my car has been tuned because it is noticeably faster than a stock ST. It feels more torquey and makes louder boost noises from the stock turbo. My car overheats after a few minutes of spirited canyon driving or when ascending hills for a few minutes. It never overheats when idling or driving normally. Ambient temperature has no affect as I have seen the car get hot at 60 degrees as well as over 100 degrees.
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks
