I'm fighting an overheating problem and I need some suggestions. Everytime I drive it, wether I get into the boost much or not. At first I thought it might be a blown head gasket, but I've had a compression check done and another shop added something to the coolant that should change colors if there was a problem. Both times it came up negative. I added a 160 thermostat and had the stock radiator cooked out. It does run cooler now that the radiator has been cleaned, but it still wants to overheat. The coolant is pushing into the overflow, filling it up, then out onto the ground. The next time I have to fill it with coolant again before I can go anywhere. Do I need a bigger radiator or is there some other problem?

Thanks
