Yes, two fans. One on the stock rad. fan connector, one on a manual switch. 1900CFM 14" fan, and a 12" 2400CFM fan. But I think I'm going to put another fan infront of the 14" fan. I can fit another 10" there.

I'd like to see the temps NEVER go about 211F in traffic or normal driving conditions. Adding fans are pretty much my last option now.

Bad thing for me is, I already have a turbo blanket and my DP is wrapped and I still have temps like that.

^^ its coz your other fan is a pusher, it not as efficient as a puller.. and water cooled turbo.. and oh if you could sit the fan as low as possible maybe it can pull a lil air on your FIC

I think the water-cooled turbo part is doing the MOST to mess with my WTemp out of all you listed.

I think I'm going to look into getting a NO2 setup for the FMIC.

yes but its not a bad thing as long as you get some extra cooling.. but try to feel the back of your puller setup and your pusher setup, you will notice how much more hot air the puller fan flows than the pusher

I'll try to put the next two fans as low as possible.
