'85 900 T16 red hot exhaust manifold and turbo

I recently did an engine swap between two '85 900 T16 5-speed Saabs. One was wrecked but had a good motor and the other was in good shape but had a bad motor. So I made one good saab out of two bad ones. I just recently got the "new" 900 started. So after topping up all fluids I decided to take it on its first drive. Due to lack of tuning the idle was rough and the throttle response was very slow so I didn't run it too long before heading back to the house to inspect. Upon opening the hoood I found that the turbo and exhaust manifold were red hot! There was also a pressurized coolant leak (coolant was boiling). The temp sensor in the car was reading about halfway between hot and cold and there was no warning light (but these could be malfuntioning). Could these problems (hot manifold/turbo, rough idle, poor throttle resoponse, slow acceleration) all be tied to the timing and other small tuning procedures that need to be done, or could there be something very wrong. Did I mention that the engine ran fine in the wrecked 900 before it got in its accident. Suggestions or advice of any kind would be much appreciated. Help this young saab enthusiast get his 900 back on its feet. Thanks.
