Default Overheating and no boost

ey this morning driving to work, the temp gauge started to slightly get hotter, but it only happened when i put abit of throttle on it, but when i back off it cooled back down, also when i did that the car was jolting.....

I looked under the hood and theres was coolant coming out under the intercooler (tmic) and i noticed the pipe from the turbo running into the I/C was loose... now could that have been the problem???????

Then i tryed moving the car into the garage, but the car wouldnt start.

yes to both items, busted coolant line that goes to the throttle body (under tmic) check/repolace & tighten all hoses & top coolant up

let the car cool, and refil the coolant level (it will be low)

tighen up the obviously loose hoses and then run the car again to check for other leaks.

If you've overheated the car, found a coolant leak, fixed the leak, refilled the coolant and its still spitting coolant out and overheating, you'd better be checking the condition of your heads and gaskets.

spitting out the overflow would also make me think thermostat also, if the coolant is 'disapearing' its blown head gasket time

did you burp the cooling system properly once you re-filled it?

Over pressurization can be caused by:
1. Air locks in the cooling system (run it with the cap off until it burps itself)
2. blown head gasket (look for constant bubbles in the metal header tank)

How hot did it get this morning?

There is a thread around describing how to burp the system. Basically, if you can have the car facing up hill and run with rad cap off it usually does the job.
Also try turning the heater on full when doing this.
