If it's lifting the head a coolant pressure test won't force the coolant the other way into the cylinders. You get maybe 25psi MAX out of a coolant pressure test, no where near enough to lift the head. A compression test probably won't tell you much either, it's only happening on boost and the dynamic pressures would be alot higher than what you get from cranking. Again, not enough pressure to make it happen.
Replacing the bolts with studs one at a time might do it. I don't know, it's not the right way but sometimes doing stuff halfassed like that can work. 2Gs are torque to yield too so you might get away with it. But again, the proper way would be to pull the head, clean everything real good, clean the threads out in the holes, lube it all up properly and then install the studs. If you can do the work yourself you could give it a try, worst that could happen is you have to do it twice I guess. I suppose there's potential to warp the head by doing it one at a time, not in the proper sequence. I don't know if it's that big a deal since you're torquing one down while the others are already torqued down tho. I think it would be a bigger deal to torque one down while the others are totally loose.
The other thing is once the headgasket seal is compromised like that you might never get it to seal properly again no matter how hard you clamp it. So that's a potential problem too.
