^^ what he said... so pay attention when ur driving (especially when ur driving aggressive) to your temp gauge and your boost gauge... let us know your findings and we can go from there

You can still make boost and be leaking coolant. Your seals are probably just f'd... they will eventually fail and either mix your oil and coolant (BAD news) or just dump coolant out and make you overheat and foul your plugs and o2 sensors. Do a compression test. If you have more that ~20psi of variance between cylinders or under ~130 in all of your cylinders then your head gasket probably failed. Is there any coolant in your oil?
