Default coolant spraying from overflow tank?

ok. when im running the car pretty hard, coolant sprays from the overflow tank. its usually only under a good amount of boost it seems, but it only started to happen after i turbo'd it, and after i installed the 92-95 radiator

most likely headlift. under boost the head will lift ever so lightly and the pressure will go into the coolant passages. stock head bolts will stretch.

you will need arp headstuds, oem mls headgasket and copperspray to fix it.

ya.. i thought about it being headlift.. a buddy of mine i think had this problem before... just realized that after i posted this.

i thought about doing headstuds, but im also thinking about ls/vtec this winter so i may wait on it... not sure though.. how does that copper spray work? i havent heard much about it..

oh and st. joe is about an hour north of kansas city

mitch, it only got worse..lol.. it runs ******* hard though... when i got home, i had coolant all over the pass. side of my window... im gonna check on some prices... if the headstuds arent to expensive i may just get some and put them in in the next few weeks.. if they are a little more than i thought, ill just wait on it and do it while im doing the ls/vtec.
