Message Figured I'd update this thread in case it helped someone with a search.

Car would get hot after about 20 minutes of driving. Pushing tons of coolant out of overflow tank - between the snap in neck and the tank itself. Covered driver side wheel in coolant.

Block tester showed head was fine. Tried new radiator cap. Checked for leaks. Upper radiator hose was getting hot so I did not suspect thermostat. Water pump was dry with nothing to see at weep hole. Finally broke down and bought a Mishimoto radiator.

The Mishimoto dropped right into my TT with no alterations to the radiator. Had to take out fan and disconnect driver's side throttle body hose as it's a tight fit. Insert at angle, done and done.

"Yeah, it can break the tires loose."
