Default Coolant pushing through reservoir

It only happens when car is under boost. Motor has around 500 miles on it. Temp gauge stays normal and never goes up. I'm thinking its headgasket.

What do you guys think?

headgasket since it happens under boost. Head is lifting just enough to introduce air in the system when you boost.

resurface the head and a new headgasket. make sure your arp head studs are even.

make sure you are tq'ing the arp's to 80ft/lbs. I think those are the new specs with moly lube.

unlikely to be cracked sleeve if only observable during boost. Warped head? In either case what the rest of these guys said, new HG, Get head checked and re-tq. report back if problem persists.

Cool, gonna take the head off and get it resurfaced. I didnt resurface the head last time I had it off so that could be the problem.

Get to put the rods and pistons in while I have the head off.
