does it smoke after its warmed up?
A bleeder funnel is key to getting these bled. I've got one for a Miata engine.
Savington. Does the tse rad use a different cap?
If not come over this weekend and we can tune a bit and bleed your coolant.

The TSE radiator does use a different size cap. It is a Chevy cap or something. The standard yellow magic funnel should have the correct adapter to fit in. At least the funnel kit I got off Amazon does.

1psi loss in 15 minutes could easily be attributed to a leak in the hose, gauge, pump, or the radiator adapter of the pressure tester itself, I wouldn't worry about leaks in the system.
I'd start look at bleeding like others have said. One of the bleeder funnels like this:

will have the proper adapter for whatever radiator/cap setup you have.
