Front Mount Turbo w/ A/C
I'm having trouble with my cooling system. As you know, with the front mount turbo kits (retaining a/c), the turbo takes up plenty of space on the radiator side of the motor. As of right now, a pair of pusher fans were located on the condensor side of the radiator. Anyone that has a front mount turbo retaining a/c, can you tell me how you managed to get a fan on the radiator side of your car? If you have pic's it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

Might not be what you want to hear, but I had to cut the core support on mine. I used a Griffin radiator, and an aftermarket/modified a/c condenser. 2 pusher fans on the condenser will be combined with 2 pull fans on the radiator side. I'll post pictures later tonight.

Thanks fellas, really appreciate the comments. We ended up placing a 16" fan on the radiator side, along with another fan on the condensor side. Both will work now off a relay and will cut on and off when the temp reaches 180 degrees. I'll post some pics of how we did it when I get a chance.
