Default coolant disappearing? no leaks visible? help please

So with my truck on stock tune I dnt lose coolant. But any kind of tune I put on, I lose it. If boost pressures exceed 20lbs. Trucks completely bulletproofed. Bad gasket job? No I dnt hav coolant coming out of degas bottle. No leaks. When parked on cement this truck has zero leaks. Where does coolant go and how/why????

How does it get into pressurized chamber? Cracked head? Airpocket?

Seems like a head gasket is leaking into the cylinder and burning off the coolant . which is why you don't see it

I agree with the bad head gasket theory, I have seen it happen. The coolant burns off in the exhaust, depending on how bad it is you might be able to see some light white smoke.

I would check the heater core before I went through with new headgaskets. It probably is head gaskets, but the heater core takes 5 minutes to get to in these trucks so it couldn't hurt to check.
