you have a air lock, changing the turbo has introduced air into the system.

Remove the small hose that goes from the header tank to the radiator (remove it at the header tank) and fill the header tank while this hose is raised up above header tank level.

While refilling, the engine should be running and the heater control inside the car should also be set to hot.
