The gauge will show cold while driving, and creap up to temp in traffic.
Biggest risk is to the Head Gasket and the Head itself, if the Gasket blows it can get very nasty and result in warping the head and then your really looking at a lot of work.

So no backing off the boost or not fully boosting, or sticky throttle or anything like that?

I wouldn't expect it to, though having said that performance would be affect if the block was overheating.
I would still change it anyway. Then you know where you are.
Loss of boost will probable be down the the engine getting so hot and super charging the intake, causing the ECU to pull the timing and boost.Quote:

So yes it can all be down to the stat.
