As it stands i have a dualcore radiator but there is virtually no clearance between the turbo and the rad, i have had the idea of changing the rad to something like an aftermarket Honda B16 rad with one FAL fan on it, would this be enough to cool the car?

Would need a new mount but would then place it on the right hand side of the car as you look, would also mean loads more air able to get to cool the turbo.

Some people use a half core Honda radiator and that has been enough. I had the stock radiator on my old setup and I was running real hot. Will have the Koyo on the car now when I get it going.

I have a halfcore radiator and it works fine. It's a lot thicker than stock though, and I have a huge fan on it (14" 1650 CFM)
