Default my coolent gets pushed into my resivor tank only under boost??????????

i just put a turbo kit on my 91 civic hatch 1.6 and i had to go to the 92 civic radiator to make it all fit everything was fine a first then i noticed all my coolent getting pushed into the resivor tank so i changed the cap and its a new radiator new thermostate bleed system good like 20 times! and i believe it only does it under boost only other thing that comes to mind is blown head gasket? i also took a cup of water and stuck the resivor tank hose in it and it made no bubbles or anything so it wasnt pushing it in at idle or giveing it a little rev so maybe just under boost so if u have any solutions or had this problem let me know what i can do thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Is the turbo cooled? I.e. Do coolant lines hook up to the turbo?

either your head is lifting under boost or ur headgasket is blown , i will put my car on it....same ECACT thing happened to me not too long ago. i changed everything , fan switch , thermostat , bled my cooling system many times. its ur head lifting or gasket blown. bought 2 new spoon radiator caps. forgot what else i did. finally i got a cometic headgasket and arp head studs , problem solved

I think i might weight until it dies, or just completely blows a gasket, because next time i pull the head off a z6 vtec head is going back on it, thanks alot guys for your help

not so sure that's a good idea.if you start mixing coolant into the oil and keep running it,you're going to be replacing a lot more than the head.
