    You have excess preasure, most likely you have a warped head, could be a stuck thermostat, but doubt it,

    if you have a thermostat ... pull it out and see if that stops ... id put my money on thermostat ... had the same problem with my z6 .... and it was a thermostat .... kept filling the overflow bottle and then pouring coolant everywhere ....Edited for Spoolin :MY BOOSTED LS VTEC IS PUKEING MY COOLANT OUT THE OVER FLOW ??

    Again, there are lots of factors.

    Is the car overheating? what size radiator? What kind of overflow (stock?) What kind of thermostat?

    how many lbs of boost? Headstuds (ARP) or headbolts (Stock)?

    Tuned or not?

    yes you need to retorque the headstuds.

    You should also drain the oil and look for coolant in the oil

    you prob have a sunk sleeve or slightly blown headgasket. If there is pressure in the overflow, thats not a good sign.

    could be bad radiator cap, blown headgasket, sunk sleeve, air pocket in radiator hose, warped head/block, head lift

    try thermostat first vance ...... start simple then go to the hard .... good way to diagnose a problem instead of spending money for new sleeves and expensive crap when its a 5 dollar problem .,..... if it isn't the thermostat .... then do wut they said man .... but my z6 had this same problem i replaced the water pump, head,and radiator ... and it was still doing it .... replaced the thermostat .. and boom fixed .... trust me it was a headache .

    View the world through a dogs eyes, if you can't screw it or eat it, pi$$ on it and walk away.

    Check for hydrocarbons in the coolant. Sounds like something internal might be going on.
