Default radiator problems

whats up guys.

im having troubles with my radiator. I went turbo on my integra, the week before my radiator sprung a leak. I thought the thermostat got stuck, so i changed it out. The leaking stoped, it just stoped for a bit. After i put the turbo on it got worse. I replaced it with one my friend had, that one broke too. It ended up being the sensor by the thermostat that turns on the fans when the motor heats up. I got a new one and put a new radiator in. Now my questions is would turbo have anything to do with my radiator leaking? Because last night it started leaking again, and this new radiator is only about a month or so old. Everyone i talked to and every mag i seen pretty much has stock radiator. My hoses seem fine and the thermostat is still good and so is the sensor. Im curious if i just maybe got a bad radiator or if having a turbo needs to get a peformance one. Right now im kinda clueless. I dont really wanna spend the money on a racing radiator if i dont have to or find out that its not the radiator that is causeing the problem.. Thanks for any advice to help me fix this.

thanks

Is your turbine sitting close to the radiator? That could be it.

not really, its a drag 3 turbo kit. I mean im not really sure what close it. I still have the stock fans on it and have a tiny bit of room. I had to cut the shroud on the big fan so it wont hit thr turbine, but other then that its fine.
