Is it actuall overheating or is the gauge sensor reading wrong? My sensor went out and said my car was I've heating when it was not. Does it do it mainly when you get into boost? This is the part that needs replace if so.

Well the motor has 88k miles..and its not new..its just stock..and the car was overheating when drove it for maybe 5-10 minutes or so..I never hit boost st all..ever since i burped the system it hasn't overheated yet but Everytime I check the coolant there is none in the overflow tank..and I have filled it up about 5 times to the fill line i'm the past 50 miles..so i'm going to check oil today

Also does anyone know if the mitsu dealerships can do a boost leak test? Or if they can just tell me what's wrong? I really don't have time at all to touch my car and I just don't want it to sit

Boost leak test at a dealership is like asking Stevie wonder for a hair cut.

you can get a boost leak tester from siliconeintakes.com and go to your local gas station and hook it up to the air pump.

You can make a boost leak tester for like $5 from stuff at a hardware store. That is irrelevant though since a boost leak is NOT your problem!
