I just did the BSM delete and a new torque converter. My local guru who is more of a ALH guy did the delete, water pump, and timing belt. I got it back and it ended up needing a temp sensor and thermostat. I replaced both and bled the system as prescribed by pulling the heater core hose and lifting reservoir tank. It does not build pressure and starts to overheat as soon as the thermostat opens. I have bled it, or at least thought I was probably 10 times now and have had no luck resolving this. Today I put my vac on the bleeder hole thinking it may help. I'm super frustrated and to give my daughter my Golf R as she heated up on her way out of town. Any help/tricks would much appreciated. I called Oilhammer's shop while on the side of the road but just missed him.
