Default ... engine eats coolant

... does this happen to anyone else?... i fill my overflow reservoir tank to about an inch below the max line... then in about a week (sometimes less), the coolant is below the min line again... some notes: this only started happening after i started boosting and i have never over-heated and the stock temp gauge rarely goes past the halfway mark... also, i never find any coolant leaking below my car... so wtf is going on?... anyone have any thoughts?... lemme know... thanks...

Someone had this problem before- they had a sleved block and the coolant was seeping under the sleves..causing the coolant to get burt up...something like that.
Im not sure if ur block is sleeved.

... no sleeved block here (maybe this winter)... i have a stock block with everything else in the sig...

... also, i just noticed that my overflow tank is not bolted down to anything... should it be?... right now, it just kinda balances on the stock radiator fan... lemme know... thanks...
