Discussion:
Weak power / over heating

Discovered turbo was bad and engine to pump coupling was bad. Replaced both along with new timing belt, water pump, and thermostat. It still has reduced power (rpm's reach no higher than 1,900 or so under a load) and is still overheating. It builds up enough pressure to spew coolant out of the coolant reservoir cap and temp of about 260 degrees. I'm thinking a bad head or head gasket. Any thoughts?
