Leak in the radiator? can you smell the antifreeze when you open the engine bay, its a sweet smell?
Get it to a garage & get them to do a pressure test, that should show up any leaks in the system.

Could also be a faulty rad cap that's opening at a lower than expected pressure.
You would need to verify that there is exhaust gas in the coolant before you conclude it's the headgasket.

I had this happen too!
Changed thermostat and header tank cap, but it still kept bunging the water out under boost!
The sniff test of the coolant showed up as clean and i was assured by a reputable garage that it wasnt HG .... they were wrong!
Does it only push the water out when boosting? i drove my around for a few months with no problems off boost to figure out and get the cash together to fix it.
