ok ive got a weird overheating question. im thinking i might be pushing coolant through a small breach or possible lifted my head during hard boosting.

Effects- water in the radiator and coolant overflow tank are dissappearing, car will begin to over heat.
No white smoke from exhaust.
No cream sludge inside my valve cover.
Steam coming out of my valve cover T which is dumping out underneath the car, also has some white froth build up.

Car pulls strong drives fine. Idles perfect, A/F is perfect from idle to full boost.

Have order a head gasket seeing as its the only thing i can think of causing this yet not showing any true signs of a blown head gasket. Im thinking its on the way out though.

also rad hoses are extremely tight when the car is running , trying to check everything possible. but if the water id missing im still thinking head gasket. id i just drive it normal no over heating but if im doing some heavy boost runs thats when it begins to heat up and water begins to dissappear.

any help would be nice.

waterpump, coolant lines under intake manifold, coolant to turbo??????????replace the hoses under the intake manifold if you change the headgasket and dont forget to bleed the radiator properly after you fill it up with coolant

water pump is a brand new pump, all hoses are brand new with no leaks, this is a fully built motor sr redtop. as soon as the head gasket comes in will be making sure to bleed the rad system as well. any other ideas other than head gasket. like i said no power loss and no white smoke its just strange. havent seen anything on here that is similar.
