Cooling system burping method

I recently converted my 2002 TT center radiator to the angled GT2 type of setup with all associated ductwork. In order to do so, I had to drain the center radiator as well as whatever came out of the two feed lines that connect to the front radiator.

I have added 2 liters of Porsche coolant and almost 2 liters of plain water (for a 50/50 mix) but it appears more came out that went back in. That judgment was purely subjective. I did not measure.

I would like to know the correct procedure to burp the system.

Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Yes, just open the bleed valve on top of the coolant tank. You can drive around with it that way and it will help purge air out of the system. Just check the level every few days and add coolant/water until it stops going down. Then close the bleed valve.
