First I would recommend you flush every part of the system to ensure that there is no more junk in there. Then put the thermostat back in. The cooling system is made to operate with the t-stat in there. Coolant needs to be in the radiator for a bit to cool it down properly. Free flowing through the system will cause the condition you are experiencing.

BTW, please provide your vehicle information whenever you ask for help!
