You have a stock (unported) Eaton with a 2.93 upper and 8 or 6 lb. lower? That's more boost than the Eaton can efficiently handle. If your blower isn't ported, you should do it very soon. Then you'll be able to better handle boost above 16 lbs.

As far as the coolant leak, you might have air in the system. Have you done any cooling system work recently? Added coolant? If so, did you burp the system after doing the work?
