Default help with turbo set up!

ok last night i got my turbo installed on my 96 coupe. its a d16y8 with 18g greddy kit on it set at 7psi. after the install i drove the car around the block hit full boost only once and i smell coolant! i start getting worried so i turn around and head back home. pop my hood and i notice a huge crack in my radiator and coolant sprayed all over my motor! and i just noticed my water pump is leaking also! before the turbo was installed the car ran fine and didnt have these problems. did boosting my motor cause this ?

keep in mind that it is a oil cooled turbo and im running stock head bolts
