ok so i have an 04 sti with tbe,intake,a&o seperator, and ecuteck tune running 19psi. the car has over 100k miles. I know it has a blown ring (uses oil like gas) but a few days ago it started running hot then cooling down while driving, found a big crack in the radiator. Replaced the radiator and when i first started it everything was fine but after about 30-45 seconds i noticed bubbles in the secondary tank above the turbo, then it started gushing out of the lower cap(3-4 inches high ) [fyi i had both caps off to make sure that the entire system was full] so now im worried that it may be a head gasket please any info will help!!! Could the coolant shower be just an air pocket?

Sounds like you have air in the system. The other possibility is that the system is full and the coolant is not circulating which could be due to an obstruction or faulty water pump.

The car had been sitting for days so it was cold never had a water pump issue before though

your car is pushing coolant. If it isn't air in the system, the block is probably done. Why are you driving it around on a busted ringland?

im 20 and i can barely afford the car so major repairs like that was out of the picture but i might be doing it anyways if i blew the head gasket im definitely doing a full motor rebuild
