No need to bump so often.

The coolant has to go somewhere, either out the tailpipe on onto the ground. If it ran fine before the intake swap then retrace your steps. Did you replace the intake manifold gasket?

it sounds like your intake manifold gasket is leaking did you replace the manifold gasket when fitting the new manifold.

Find someone who can pressure test your cooling system, so you don't have to over heat everything to find the problem. I was a finally able to find several small leaks that had eluded me for weeks using this method.
