boosted KA24DE is an unknown quantity at this point
If your radiator is partially clogged it will over heat as you begin to drive. It will stay cool at idle because there is very little load in pressure going through the radiator. Once you get on the highway and put more loaded pressure through the radiator it will begin to bottleneck and cause your overheating issue. I do not recommend not having your termostat out. I have gone through the extent of cutting open a rad to show a buddy how clogged actually was.
