ok I won't just over look it. Everytime I stop I look behind the car. Every time I shut off the car and it's running on the turbo timer I watch the exhaust so we'll just have to wait and see I guess.
how to get the?

This is the proper and easiest way to eliminate those waterfalls and air bubbles.
Buy a Prestone fill kit. It comes with a tee that you permanantly add into the highest heater hose. Start your car with the heater on and radiator cap off, connect the garden hose to the tee, turn the water on slowly, when water comes out of the radiator neck, put the cap on, then turn the water and car off. Disconnect the hose and make sure it's topped off. The tee has a screw on cap. Should be fully air free at this point.

all the hoses on my car are brand new as of a week or two ago. (blew the upper radiator hose, so i replaced both of them)
i filled the radiator with coolant/water, and let the car warm up, then topped it off. it purged itself. i didn't need to burp it.
before, my car ran at 1/2 way up the temp gauge. i'm assuming i had a pinhole in that upper radiator pipe for some time, because after i changed it, the temp gauge never moves past 1/4 on the gauge. even at full boost, wide open throttle in fourth gear to redline. (did that on the way to the jersey meet against a vette. i killed him.
)
anyway, i'm now a firm believer that if all the hoses and coolant lines on your car are in good shape, the system will purge itself.

Lol, never seen a supra owner with one of those b4. Why buy that when you can purge for free?
Fixed it............starscream5000 said:
and to answer your question, because it only takes a few minutes to fill with this and you are done, no purging required, and no air in the system.
my guage has never moved farther than 1/3. I replaced my 195 thermostat with a 170, replaced my bottom hose and am getting ready to replace the upper.
