Default A3 1.8T, my car overheats when turbo kicks in

hiya guys, i'm new to the forum, tried searching for my problem but can't seem to find a post relating to it

I have 1.8T A3 51plate, i don't know much about turbo'd cars as this is my first one.

My car's temperature is fine when I'm driving normal until I kick in abit of turbo, as soon as the turbo kicks in, the temperture rises to the maximum. Does anyone know what the problem maybe?

The fans work, but in my opinion they don't start kicking in early enough.

Also should I be able to heard the turbo whilst driving?

and does any one know what a standard 1.8T red lines at?

many regards lukescotty

i guess you should inspect the inter cooler for clues.
