1. TRD and standard ST205 head gaskets are multi layer steel (MLS) head gaskets which apparently don't need re-torquing like the copper suckers.
2. After seeing the bolt which was stuffed in your wastegate hose RAVGT4 I would suggest that you could have waaaaay overboosted on at least a couple of occasions and blown the head gasket.
3. Wagonists description of the overflow process is fairly accurate from what I've seen BUT if you had too much air in the head to begin with you could have blown the headgasket before the overflow process could clear the air... on my ST185 I have to remove the radiator hose and fill it up with coolant to keep the air pockets to a minimum... the overflow clears out the rest of the small bubbles.
4. I wouldn't go changing the head gasket JUST yet though as even removing the head will mean a new head gasket... go for a drive and then turn the sucker off... see if you can feel bigtime bubbling in your top radiator hose, if so remove the top hose when it cools down and pour some more coolant down it... quickly pop the sucker back on and then top up the radiator.
See how she goes after that.
