Welp just went on a four hour round trip drive thru the kentucky mountains all highway there. 1/2 county roads coming home. I rode in the boost zone fairly a lot. Esp on the last 10 minutes before home. I wasn't really gunning it hard but was riding out the boost every chance i could. I get home pop my hood to check the fluids and my coolant reservoir burped up the whole dang reservoir thru the relief vent.. WHY?
edit: my fan also kicked on once i shut my car OFF and ran for a minute then turned off once the coolant was done puking.

air bubble somewhere..
coolant was not circulating..
my car has done that before..
i was pulling onto I5, and hard on the boost (1300*f, ~20psi) and my temp gauge just started going up, up, up...
pulled over, waited for the turbo to cool down a bit, and shut it down as soon as my EGTs werent going to boil the oil out of my turbo once it quit spinning..
its never done it since.. it just burped once, fan came on, then it was fine after it burped..
i also changed my expansion tank cap as well, doubt that did anything tho..
Well that reassuring! I NEED MORE BOOST!
Also i Think that i did isolate the squeaky duck noise to the starter i pushed started my car rolling down a hill today and it didn't squeak squeal like it does when i starter start it.

uh, how does an air bubble in the cooling system equate to needing more boost?
It doesn't i was just saying i need more haha

be careful with that little K14.. its not good for massive amounts of boost..
anything above 15psi and its just pumping lots of hot air...

I haven't put on a boost gauge yet. whats the stock boost on it?
Would a 1.8t intercooler do me any good? Local vw shop has a pile of them.

i just replied to the other thread you started..
im not a fan of any intercooler with plastic end tanks..
anything higher than 15psi or so, and you risk blowing the tanks off the intercooler..
there are MUCH BETTER options out there.. see the other thread for a complete response..
I just took out my starter. The gear head part is worn out. Looks like ill be getting a new one tomorrow. Thoughts on remans from auto parts stores?
no new starter lubed it up and it work great put some grease on the gears and shaft.
