Default Anyone add e-fans to their intercooler?

I was wondering if adding e-fans to the intercooler would increase performance at all, or would they restrict airflow through the I/C when they're not running. Anyone have any thoughts/opinions on this idea?

they would probably restrict airflow., wont do much good when your car is moving.

I know guys that do this on the starting line. Works really well when up against the transbrake before launch.

Cheers,
Chris

They would make a difference after a run for cooling down the intercooler quicker, really no use during run. With the right setup should not affect flow through the intercooler, while car is moving.
