thats great man!
Wierd problem there though man, and what temp gauge...the stock one? If it is the stock one then...Stop Boosting! That gauge is not linear and if it is mooving then your really overheating, if it is aftermarket....the water temp will go up when your under boost, just a question of how much. Give us some more details.....

Super basic,
Did you connect the vacuum line from the upper intake manifold to the blow off valve?
Depending on how the Type S works, if misconnected, it could be closed all of the time - which would be bad, but not nearly as bad as being open all of the time. Being open would cause you to generate excessive turbo speeds to achieve the same level of manifold pressure - which is where overheated coolant, oil, cooked turbo bearings, etc. come in.

Watch out because like Clayne said you could be damaging alot of thing, especially if it is the stock temp gauge that says your hot...because that means you are really really hot. Get an aftermarket temp gauge to watch that temp because your car has to be crazy hot for the temp on the stock gauge to go up at all above half!
