If the problems only arisen since the carb was adjusted it sounds to me like the engine is running very lean causing it to get hot. Screw the mixture screw in a little to richen it, drive it very carefully and get it down to a decent rolling road for a proper setup.
You certainly don't want to be driving a Turbo motor which is anywhere near lean, under any kind of boost.

Phil.
