Default !!!!turboed ls vtec running hot only when boosted!!!!!

i have a 95 hatch with an ls vtec and with usdm b16 pistons, as i aquired a revhard turbo kit recently about 4 months ago i just bolted it on. i know compresion is too high but why wait 4 months to screw up? any way i can drive without boosting and drive normal for over 200 miles now and never runs hot. but under boost its a diffrent story, the temp hand fluctuates and water spews out of the overflow tank. ive tried staight fans,new radiators,thermostats,new water pump. could boost be leaking between the multilayered gasket into the coolant wall, head lifting at only 6.5 psi with this compression or what?

could be a head gasket leak or in the case of my dad's piece of **** nissan pulsar; no intake manifold gasket would push water into the cylinders and mess things up.

Also if you're still running the eg half rad it may not be enough cooling for a boosted B
