Lost all power after changing the radiator

Question

Hello.im looking for some help here . My 2.8 voyager auto has been giving me grief recently. It will drive about all day fine , but as soon as you boot it ( 70 or above ) the temp shoots up . Almost into the red .. anyway I decided to change the radiator as after a bit of reading it seemed like that was the culprit. Now it has 4 radiators , I realised the front 2 are a/c the one nearest the engine is the cooling one . The 2nd ( smaller one ) from the engine is water , but I've no idea what it does . Anyway after changing the main cooling radiator , the car starts no problem , drives away fine revs ok ,but as soon as the revs rise it has no power at all 0 - 60  50 seconds as soon as it hits a hill it drops the gear ok, but no power at all . I think it's either turbo , intercooler, or erg valve ( engine light is on , and erg fault code , but it's been that way for over a year. ) power loss is only since I changed the radiator , ps . I've driven it a good distance and as long as no hills it's not too bad , and temp is low ( 1/4 way up the guage ) . If I can get it to run better I'll do the radiator thermostat mod . Any help is appreciated.
