Coolent boiling????
I drove my car to the dealership for the fact that, my coolent was boiling and making a lound bubbling sound in the radiator. I contacted a tech and this is what he said " its normal for evos to do that, its going to happen when you have a car on steroids." I drive the car maybe 10miles a day. I have never heard such a thing!! In all my years of owning cars i have never had coolent boiling in the radiator and in the over fill tank. Any thoughts and fixes would be great.
might have an air bubble, might wanna try burping the coolant system...

if somehow air got trapped in your radiator, like if you changed the fluid recently and didn't get it quite full, it could spew out some steam until all the air in the radiator is diplaced with liquid. It might take a couple a heat cycles, but it will clear itself up. If you haven't touched the cooling system, and it's still doing it, there could be numerous causes. How many miles on the car, and since the last radiator flush? Could be a bad thermostat, a bad radiator fan, a fouled radiator, or a blown headgasket.

The car has 5000 miles and i only drive it to work and back. I dont have a turbo timer, but i always wait 10 to 15 seconds before turning the car off. It just started doing this.

You need to wait 60-90 seconds at least as written on the back of the visor (at least on the Galant VR-4's).

I talked to the dealership and they infaddicly deny that its the head casket. In the long run, what will be the outcome if the head gasket doesn’t get replaced?

If this is what you have happening then it is the HG.
