Little Problem.

I take my car in the dealership cause coolant is getting so hot that it is boiling out of the over flow. So I replace it with just water and let the car just sit there and run for about 20 minutes and I would think that if the pump is working, that I should see it moving or at least the anti-freeze would mix with the water and it would turn pink again but nope, I can't see any kind of flow what so ever so I think it is the I/C pump. What do you guys/girl think. Oh yea, the computer is knocking my boost down from 15 to about 12 and it feels like it is pulling timing like a mf'er.
