over heating(large frame turbo) just got the car done a couple weeks ago, baker engineering did the tuning and and some other work on the car great guys by the way.
Ive already talked to tj at baker and chuck at burkhart about my issues i will try everything that they say. just trying to get some more insight/things to check
basic setup run down
-iron 370
-5" downpipe
-PT-large frame turbo mount in middle of engine bay about 6inches way from radiator
-burkhart front mount radiator setup with remote pump setup -16 feeds and returns
heres whats going on with the car
- basic street driving the car stays at 209 to 210 but once i get on the car(into boost) temps climb up so bad the first time coolant was spraying out of the overflow tank about a foot in the air hood was off the car. so i let the car cool down, switched out the cap to a higher spring was 6lbs went to 13lbs. seemed to help a little bit but still started to go over 210 so i called it quits for the day
Now i dont have the downpipe wrapped nor a blanket. just the crossover is wrapped(dei lava) i just ordered a blanket and more wrap to do those things just to element them, but chuck doesnt think its the hot side. he says to double check the coolant crossovers(KUP system) so i will bleed them tomorrow after work.
Anybody have any other things to check/do?
thanks

" spring was 6lbs went to 13lbs. seemed to help a little bit but still started to go over 210 "
raising the cap relief pressure does not control the op temp...It only raises the boiling point.
Why would there be a 6# cap on there, to begin with?
something mechanical causing the issue[s]??
IE: heads lifting, blown gasket, steam pocket[s], all come to mind.

Do you have the air damn installed? What thermostat are you running?
It seems odd that it will stay relatively cool with it at idle and not heat up. Is this a proven pump for street use? By the sounds of it, there's either as mentioned before air in the system or not enough pump/bad pump.
