Gutted Cat... Car runs hotter?

I gutted my cat yesterday and now my car is running about 20* warmer than usual. Today I did a coolant flush and removed my thermostat and it still runs between 195-215 when driving. Is this normal? My turbo is much louder and you can hear it spool in the lower RPM range...

Is the car running warmer because the turbo is spooling earlier or is there something else wrong?

Water pump is definately moving coolant... ask brew... he took a shot to the face when i fired it up with no cap on the thermostat housing, lol

Ordering Koyo race radiator tomorrow, hopefully it helps out a little...
