White substance around the turbo manifold is an indication of a head gasket starting to go bad. The problem is that you don't know how bad, but one way to keep track of it is how much coolant you need to add on a regular basis.
A temp gauge that starts to climb during freeway speeds is an indication that the radiator is clogged up.
If the temp goes up when car is sitting still idling, it is a bad fan switch.
So if you start with replacing the radiator you at least give the engine a little bit of rest since it will run cooler but it is still no guarantee that the head gasket will go on forever.
