Arrow just got retuned. now running warm and no heat?

Long story short I recently changed turbos and a few other little things and had my car retuned Friday. Car ran fine and still does but now, 4 days later, car is running warm (now avg. 4 bars going to 5 vs. used to avg at 2 bars going to 3 occasionally if I got caught at a long light or something) and I have no heat. I checked my coolant and the radiator was a little low in the radiator and the overflow was empty. I topped off the radiator and filled the overflow tank a little bit but no dice. I'm thinking thermostat? I am running the modifry unit with my AEM so there's a possibility my tuner changed how many degrees each bar represents but I doubt he would do this without asking or at least telling me he did plus the fact that my heat is gone leads me to believe there's definitely more to it than that but I am going to call him first thing tomorrow morning to verify. I was thinking it might be my waterpump but the car only has 50k on it so I'd be surprised if that was it. Any insight? Thoughts? All are appreciated.

TIA

Ben

No heat=air in the cooling system, guaranteed. It was not bleed properly.

I agree with Bill. If the turbo is water cooled, then the cooling system was definitely opened up. If it isn't bled properly, this kind of problem will happen.

Bleed your cooling system!
