Just this morning, I saw this ad for weld it yourself custom radiators (you add inlet and outlets). maybe that'd give you a better fit? They are cheaper.

ON ebay you can get the Boxster radiators for about $80 and the fan / shroud for another $40.
Suspect the fans are low draw >10a. Probably one on each wheel well would keep you cool at idle / low speed (will you be heavy boosting but not at speed?).
That'd gain you more room for a center radiator / heat exchanger for the intercooler.

Good news, dont know if anyone follows my build thread but I fixed the issue with a griffin dual pass radiator and 4000cfm fans. Had to change to a air to water intercooler and upgrade my alternator, but it was well worth it.

Yes from summit, its 15x27x2.5 and I used Derale puller fan kit and modified the shroud to fit the radiator. The fans pull 4000cfm and draw 50amps so I had to upgrade the alternator to Powermaster 200amp and used a 200 amp relay as well.
