It usually stays under 12 on the a/f meter under boost. coolant is going into the overflow but i think only when it overheats. He is running around 18 lbs. right now. It was tuned upto 21 lbs. The only things he changed since the problem started is the dump tube, he heat wrapped the manifold and changed the gate pressure on the boost controller. We drove it around tonight. First he drove it normal and no problem for about 30 minutes. Than he started boosting it. After a couple times boosting it would overheat only when he slowed down or stopped. As soon as he would get up past 35 mph with the gas pressed it would cool down and stay there. If he got upto 35 mph and drifted it would overheat. He drove normal for about 30 minutes doing the same thing every time and it would start overheating when he got under 35 with out the gas pressed.



thanks

Also when he is stopped and the car starts to overheat he can press the gas and it will cool back down without moving the car.

thanks
