you're gonna have to find a small dual core radiator and somehow get it to fit in whatever space you have left in the engine bay, which won't be much trust me. oh and think about relocating the battery to the trunk to give you more room, otherwise you wont have much space for anything. Usually the del sol half radiator is used but the problem with this is its a single core and if you run alot of boost with it the car will overheat, my friend runs 11lbs on his drag ef and at first it overheated until he swapped the radiator. make sure you have everything planned out before you slap the turbo on.

I think you can use a del sol half size dual core radiator, but you have to bend or cut out some of the front crossmember for it to fit right. I'm not sure though, I just think I read about it in a thread here somewhere.
I would just get a better water pump, high flow radiator, and high flow fan or fans(if two can fit), to handle the boost, but it really depends on how much boost you're running, but since you're going pretty high, I would look into those things.
