Default Cooling fan for turbo idea...

I have a spare slim cooling fan that can fit right in front of my turbo manifold and still have room between the fan and turbo / manifold / dp. Sooooo, I am wondering I mount this fan as a puller fan (onto the "bumper frame") and have it blowing straight over the turbo and manifold - will it help out with some heat reduction and be a good idea?? I think it would be pulling some cold air thru the intercooler as well which is also good - hmmmm.

Thinking I could wire it up to a boost sensing switch or with a relay on the coolant fan wires ... What do you FI guys think?

I say do it wire it to a switch. Mount it on your intercooler it should pull cool air at idle at least.

no cooling fan is gona make a turbo cool down when your at WOT, the only way to lower EGT's like that is through methanol injection.
