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.

The Porsche radiators aren't that cheap and to do the whole setup is a pretty big expense if I have 2 do it twice. Also, the radiators are 20x16x6 I don't have massive bumper and wheel wells to fit that.

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.

Nice. Did you use the Griffin from Summit? What brand and size fans did you end up with?

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.
