Start with the basics.
1. Make sure you're actually overheating. Rule out a bad gauge.
2. Since you recently replaced the fluids and the thermostat, did you also change the radiator cap?
3. Referring to item 2 above, ensure you don't have an air bubble in your system. Often when changing out thermostats, hoses, flushing etc. an air bubble is left in the system. Air, under pressure does not cool.
4. Make sure you cleaned the intercooler as well as the radiator.
Finally, did you do all these repairs BECAUSE of overheating OR were they done as a matter of routine maintenance....:h
