sounds like you have a head gasket leaking or a crack in the head.

possible. did it do this before you changed the water pump? i assumed that you changed the pump because it was running hot.

if it wasn't doing this before the pump change the a air pocket is possible. if it was pushing water before the pump change then i highly doubt it is an air pocket. i would most likely say it is a head gasket.

it is work a try to burp the air out of it because it will definitely cause it to do what you are saying. if it started doing it at high boost and then got worse i would say that you have a blown head gasket. you can run a pressure test on the cooling system.
