This may sound silly but have you kept a close eye on the coolant level?
I had this prob last year for a few months and finaly found a slight leek in the pipe that cools the turbo.
Had sensors changed and everything before hand but turned out to be loosing only a slight bit of water (it was really hard to spot)
Last thing you want is a shot engine

Make sure when you top up that you get all the air out by squeezing the rad hose.
It should bubble a little as you do this and the level will drop if its not full.
Keep an eye out for any tiny leeks. There was no sign of water when this happened to me as it was a tiny crack in the banjo pipe that sat by the turbo.
Maybe a sensor... I had mine changed at subaru but it was'nt the problem and even they did'nt spot it at first
It may well be in your case though if your not sure get it checked out ASAP
To much Overheating will lead to
