The way i found out was after i drove it, didnt matter if if was for 2 mins or longer, i opened the hood and a lil bit of smoke was coming out of the motor. Than about 5ish minutes after i turned the car off, coolant flooded into the resivor and spilled over. If coolant fills the resivor and over flows, you have a bhg. If your exhaust is white too. You can check your oil too by drain a lil out and if its water your in trouble. And you can pop the cap on your radiator too(dont do it after driving or while running the car) and if oil is floatin on the top, you have bhg.

ok... well i hav none of those symptoms...the oil isnt milky, there isnt any oil under the radiator cap, the water doesnt overflow from the resuvier (it happened once, but thats it)
as i said, it just builds up pressure in the radiator way to quick
also the smoke ive got comin out is black (still tryin 2 figure out why it is running rich...)
hmmmm...so the search continues hahaha

Running rich huh? Hows your air filter? Check your spark plugs to. And are you still getting decant boost?

yer i already checked the air filter, its like new... however i havent checked the plugs yet...the guy i got it off put them not long before he stopped driving it...however it was sittin out the front of his house for just over 6 months... so im not sure if she is running ruff cause there is still crap fuel in the system...but ill hav a look at the plugs, and also i hav a sneaky suspision that i hav a leaking injector...

ohhh...and my car is N/A ....im not sure how it works over there, but over here in my area of Australia we have provisional licenses for new drivers (new as in i dont have a full license yet lol) and because of previous years of dickhead young drivers who cant drive for shit (but they can crash really good, hahaha), they put restrictions on our licenses, so unless you have a full license now, you cant drive v8's,or any turbo'd or supercharged cars... FREAKIN sucks balls!!!

ummm im not sure...i mean i didnt take it off, i got it n/a haha...the reason im not sure is cause as far as i know its n/a, but on the intake there a coupl of plates on the top that are blocking holes (bit wierd if thats factory haha), and there is the hole and studs at the bak of the head where the NOK sensor for the turbo hooks up 2...are they normally there on n/a intake manifolds? and on the head? any ideas???...
i can take pics and post them on here if you want??? (cause i know sometimes i dont make sense)...i will jus hav 2 figure out how 2 attach/post pics in here lol
