Default radiator problem

I have a 93 civic with a 95z6 turbo motor...uhmm.. i have problems with my radiator..... when i drive pass 80mph(or really fast) my radiator catch tank fills up and sprays out all over the place...when i'm driving the temp gauge doesn't go up.. my car doesn't over heat at all..sometimes i see steam and hear bubbles coming out of the catch tank, but my car isn't over heating.. Can someone tell me what the **** is going on... the only thing i can think of that is causing this is the honda radiator cap... It wouldn't fit on my pwr radiator so i had to bend the sides a bit..

i've got a new thermostat when i switch out my stock radiator... i'm stilll using my stock civic radiator cap.... so..would a spoon radiator cap do anything to it ... like 1.3pressure.. so a crx radiator cap would fit.. but i thought they are all the same..
