I'll throw this out here, I use a Lisle spill proof funnel when I fill/purge the radiator. I think I bought mine on Amazon. Maybe it'll help.

Well I replaced the temp sensor in the WP and topped her off. At idle the fan doesn't come on until one line before the red. The car has a 160 stat in it. When I shut it off you hear boiling and it pukes out the reservoir. I bled air at the thermostat housing and the upper one. I was thinking maybe the cap or stat is bad?

If you're running stock programming, first fan should come on at 226°F, and second fan at 235°F. The stripe before the red is about 235°-240°F.
You can check the connector at the coolant temp sensor, to see if you have the correct 5 volts reference across the two wires (connector off the sensor).
Shoebox's guide to temp sensor testing:

When the radiator cools down and you open the cap, is the radiator still full to the top? A crack in the overflow line to the reservoir prevents the vacuum that develops as the radiator cools from pulling coolant back out of the reservoir to keep the radiator full, with no air pocket.SOLD - GONE TO A (VERY) GOOD HOME ! - 94 Formula A3+1: 381ci forged stroker - Callies Stealth, Oliver 5.85 billet rods, BME nitrous pistons / CNC LT4 heads / CC solid roller / TH400+GearVendors OD / 4.11 Strange 12-bolt / 300-shot N2O / Spohn Suspension / roll bar / MoTeC M48 Pro engine management system /a few other odds 'n ends.

I only hear the drivers side fan come on when the gauge gets to the 235 line. I checked the pass side fan and it works and so do the relays. The car boils over and pushes coolant out of the overflow cap. When it cools off and I open the radiator the coolant is low. I know this should be easier than this. Somedays I think about hanging up the car stuff.... lol

I wonder if the water pump is taking a dump. When I drive the car it is fine. It only pukes from the boiling and expansion. Maybe I have poor circulation? The car has sat for about 4 years.
