WRX cooling system problem HELP!!!
I have a 2005 WRX 2.0L 115,000 miles. Mods up/down pipe(catless), accessport, short ram intake, gfb bov, and spt catback. My problem, Coolant is disappearing in just 2 days with no signs of a leak. Here is a brief summery of what is happening. last week I was driving home running my a/c and my temp spiked up and almost went into the red. I shut the a/c off and cranked up the heater. The car proceeded to drop right back to the normal spot halfway between the two lines. when I got home I noticed that my coolant bottle was empty so I filled it and ran the car for awhile with no problems. 2 days later. Car is driving great no more over heating problems. Great news. I pop the hood to check everything out and the coolant bottle is almost empty again. I refill it again. 2 days later I check the coolant tank again its low again. I did notice a couple of times a little smoke coming from the turbo area of the engine bay, not if that is related or not. PLEASE HELP me. Any thoughts questions or comments are appreciated.

heater core might be cracked located inside the middle of the dash if its heater core you should see white smoke inside the car when heater is on full blast, coolant ports in the heads might be crack, check coolant system pressure, check your oil cooler hoses if they aint cracked or leaking on the crossover running under intake manifold other than that look for dry coolant clean it and check it again later
