I had the same symptoms on a n.a.legacy and it turned out to be a head gasket.The leak was charging the cooling system with exhaust. Does your coolant smell like exhaust or gas? If so it is probably the head gasket.I hope not,but maybe this info will save you some time. BillC

do the fans spin when it's hot? if not then it's a bad coolant temperature probe. The secondary coolant tank should be raised above the turbo. It allows coolant to still flow through convection when the engine is not running(or so i've read). That tank should be full though. If it was full and isn't now, maybe you have a leak somehwere in the system and the worst case would be as someone else suggested an immeninent head gasket problem.

good luck,
lex
