I know there is lots of threads on this subject and i have looked through alot, but i wanted to know if there could be anything that i have missed.

My 04 LCR is overheating when on boost upto around 120, so i took it to the stealers who couldnt find any problem with it even testing it themself, so i picked it up again at lunch and drove down the road and brought it up onto boost and it the temperature rose back upto 120, so returned to the garage and explained about what i thought it could be, i.e the impellor on the water pump cant handle higher revs due to being damaged but could at idle or low revs hence why they couldnt recreate the problem, the fans cut it as required and there is no leaks in the system or air blockages and the upper and lower pipes from the radiator are warm, Could it only be the water pump?
