Do I have a problem

I was a little low on coolant two weeks ago and filled it up to the max line. After filling it puked on my the first time I towed with it and then quit. Today I towed with it again and it went back to puking. The only other thing I noticed was my boost guage needle fluttered alittle around 20-25psi under load. Could this be due to the overfill or the start of something more serious.

I think your boost gauge is unrelated to the puking going on.

Put the coolant level at the "MIN" mark on the degas bottle and buy yourself a new coolant cap. See what that does first.

Make sure you get the upgraded cap that came out about 6 months ago.

I think there was a TSB or somthing about this. You only need to fill to the min. mark. anymore will cause the puking effect
