Default Burning Coolant?

I've got an AP2 w/ the Greddy Street kit and noticed about two weeks ago that the coolant reservoir was low, didnt think nothing of it until tis morning when i check again and its practically gone!. I'm a litle concerned...I'm always checking the gauges and it does'nt overheat. Is that little T5-18g turbo creating so much heat that the car is burning coolant?or could tere be a leak somewhere, i just hit the 30k mark?!

something doesn't sounds right....not good


First things first, check and double check for leaks. Also look at the spots you parked in and see if you see any fresh water marks on the ground.

My coolant tank was dropping and I noticed spots all over my drive way, turns out my rubber lines were rotting away from all the heat of the turbo.

Yes definatly check all your coolant hoses. I doubt your headgasket is blown with the amount of miles and with the greddy kit.
