i did a bad thing lol so after all you guys told me to check my fans i was just sticking my hand in the engine bay and felt air so i figured it was working right........and of course it wasnt. i got a string and dangled the string behind the second fan and it got sucked in i knew at that moment i screwed up and i fixed the wiring last night so hopefully today i will find out if that fixes the problem.

speaking of flanges, is there a two bolt greddy style BOV flange adapter that makes it V-band or is welding the only way? I saw a converter to make it HKS but not V-Band.

Back on the subject of these slim fans, i could use a little help. I dont have any problems except i need to make more room for a bigger turbo setup under the hood. Could i run 2 pusher fans in front of the ac condensor and take out the factory fans and shroud and be good to go? Im running an oil cooled turbo and temps here in texas can get as high as 95F average in the summer.

two pushers fans would work if you dont have any choice.. I have two pushers in front coz i dont have any choice.. I was able to fit a small 10" fan on the radiator so I run 3 fans now.. You can get other cooling upgrades like rad, thermostat, water wetter, turbo blanket and insulation stuff

well im going to be running a garrett 60-1 turbo with s cover. That monster isnt going to leave much room for keeping fans in the back and running pullers so i im kinda needing to do pushers. any chance of overheating while idealing or cruzen in my conditions?

what manifold are you using? you should be able to mount at least one fan in there or a smaller 10-11 inches instead of the usual 12".. the good thing is that 60-1 is not water cooled so its not as bad as watercooled turbo.. you should consider a high cfm fan too.. overheating on long idle is a possibility or a stop and go traffic on the tx summer..
