I have had this same issue and pursued all the usual suspects, but what wound up fixing the problem was simply a new radiator. As someone told me, just because it appears to be unclogged and flowing, it may not be passing coolant quickly enough. No use trying to clean out these plastic wonders, just get a new one. I believe they are not too expensive for the Turbo I and TII cars, so you might want to try it out.
