I would not guess over boost myself. My c32 had a bully and I drove the crap put of it even in 110 degree heat. That looks to me like there is a clog in the system or it was just old and wore out.

my radiator on my C55 had a crack in the end tank. luckily it was at the top so it still functioned so I could drive the car home.
we suspected that it was just because it had gotten weak over time, the plastic gets brittle from being heated up over and again.
the car was 9 years old at the time, so its kinda expected that some stuff like that will give up.
I'd say that when you're busted it was while the engine was at high revs and the water pump would've been flowing a fair bit. mine popped when I was peeling out of a shopping centre car park.
