No Prob, I'll get some pics loaded onto photobucket and pm you them. It was actually really easy. I couldn't be happier with it. I had the trans cooler in the front, but it was MASSIVE...to the point the car was overheating from the trans cooler covering too much of the radiator, haha. Little overkill, i know. So, I moved it to the rear.

ok what im going to do first is get the trans coolers out of the equation and remote mount them in the rear with a fan on one.then im going to try to slightly move the rad&cond forward alittle by notching the rad support slightly.
i think that will give me 2inches between my turbo and 2 12 inch fans as pullers.
what do u guys think.oh and thanks for all the replies

I'm a big fan of cutting out the bottom of the core support area on the car. It's simple enough run a new straight bar across there, weld it in, and mount your radiator to that. the stock bottom suport is angled and makes for a ackward mounting surface area.

A smart *** comment wasn't needed, and you didn't tell me anything. Saying that alot of people use flex a lite is a broad statement. I asked the guy who posted a picture of his flex a lite fans. Flex a lite makes a few different fans in their ploy to make a profit

So i ran it with the fans as pushers and no trans coolers in the way. I let it idle with the a/c on max for one hour in my shop and it didnt over heat.
Not sure if this means anything because it was 65degrees in the building. Also i wasnt beating on the car.
You can feel alittle air flow through the radiator but not as much as id think would cool it properly in the summer. The a/c would probably work really well with the fans straped right to the condensor.
