Default Runs hotter with bigger turbo

Alright i am looking for some input on this one. I got a 4gsk, 120hp injectors, no fuel plate, raptor 150 lift pump, BHAF and 5inch exhaust. With the stock turbo it wasnt running to hot but i decided to put the BD super B special turbo on it and now it runs hotter than it did with the stock one. What do you guys think? Could it be lean? Thanks for your Info!
