Default overheating

I just turbocharged my 98 Honda Civic EX. I am having problems with it overheating. I have already installed a colder t-stat, I drilled the t-stat, my cooling fan is running when the car is on, but it is still overheating. My next step is to find a full size radiator that will fit with the removal of my a/c condensor. Any suggestions of what radiator will fit?

you should try a larger radiatior. http://www.radiator.com has a plus size radiator thats only $150. i have one in my car. my temp is much lower. you don't have to sacrifice the a/c.
