after driving my radiator system is not presurized. you can squeeze the radator hosess easly. i did just replace the waterpump could that be it? i also believe that the turbo coolant line is leaking a bit during a pressure test i loose about a pound of pressure a min but wouldnt that just depressurize me quicker not prevent me from bulding pressure

thx for any and all help

There is nothing wrong with being able to squeeze the radiator hoses. Unless you have an aftermarket temp gauge and notice heat spikes I wouldnt get worried.

You've probably got air bubbles trapped in your cooling system. Keep at it and you'll get the air out.
