I think I blew it up AGAIN!
I was out tuning. I built 8 psi in 3rd gear when poof! Smoke out the tailpipe and smoke out from under the hood.
I pop the hood and there'* coolant everywhere. Radiator hoses are ok, heatercore lines are ok. I can get the motor to run but it spits out a LOT of smoke. I think a head gasket let go.

I got a pressure tester on it and the radiator blew open. Just finished towing it home.
My 21 year old radiator decided it wasn't up to the challenge.
The bad part is that it is a TGP specific radiator. Can't run to the parts store to get a new one.
