With my experience with turbocharged cars (DSM's mainly), I think a puller fan does much better than a pusher fan. I would recommend using a spal fan and there is a seller on ebay (id : wesmarshall) who sells the heck out of them.

Good luck!

the car is going forward, that means air are going through the radiator already, what radiator fan does is to increase the amount of air go through, so pulling is natrual
