Someone mentioned that you only need to reverse the polarity on the wires for the fan.

Has anyone tried to stock fans in front of the radiator with the wires switch?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the pitch on the fan blades i different between pusher an puller fans. You may be able to reverse the direction but won't have as optimum air flow as a pusher fan that has blades pitched properly.

All that I have left to buy is a BoV and decent turbo. I am going to start the build next weekend.

I didnt want to start building it until I had most of the parts. Trying to have minimal downtime with the car =).

frcefed, what do you think about Master Power turbos?

I saw one in person the other day. Brand new, Zero shaft play. It looked like a nice unit. And I can pick up a T70 with .96 AR for like 580.00! Only thing is their warrenty process sucks, and their based in Brazil I think.

Advice?

I had a MPT70 a year or two back, its now on a mustang pushing low 10's....still running strong.

It was a nice quick spooling budget budget turbo and a lot better than the china unit you got with that kit.

If you have the chedder go with the TC76....you will NOT be disappointed.

mpt70' is not bad at all,

and are in the same price range
