Radiator cap? Radiator neck? Fan operation?

It's easy to verify a breach from combustion chamber to the cooling system.

If it's been overheated, did it warp the head? A head gasket won't seal if the head and block are not straight.

Re: pressure build up & over heating

i'm guessing you're running a larger radiator then the half sized stock 95 rad. and an intercooler right?

and using synthetic oil.

is this a new issue, have you had it boosted for long?

Overheating or loss of coolant, heater blowing cold
