over heating
i just installed a vf22 turbo, sti inj., utech, spark plugs, and a fuel pump. we took it out on a drive and it started to get real hot. ya i know that i lost some coolant when we took off the old turbo but i put some in the over flow tank but dont think its filling back up though that .please help very puzzled .
some one told me to burp the system but i dont know what they exactly mean by that.

Car Info: Mazda Protege '02 (Wishing protege has AWD and a H6 twin turbo)
When the car is cold and i mean dead cold just open the radiator cap and start the car this should get any bubles to the top. Fill her up and watch your levels with the cap off.
When you get all your bubbles out put the cap back on and take a test run.
Anyone with a better idea? i'm open to them
