DC full radiator with turbo?
i am putting my turbo on and plan on keeping my full size radiator and the turbo and manifold fits but should i run 2 fans on the front pulling air into the radiator and thats it? or should i put one or 2 on the front and still have one fan on back?

You only need one fan really... on my GSR I was running a Fluidyne full size rad and a 12" slim fan pulling air into the radiator, and I still had A/C and never had problems with the car getting hot, even in traffic with the A/C on

Unless the cooling fan is running all the time or is switched with the ac system, the ac won't work when at a standstill. The ac condensor needs airflow to exchange heat.

I would run two pushers and call it a day. That worked wonders for me in a DA. Honestly, having the full-radiator means your fans probably won't run as much anyway. When they do it will be plenty. Just get good fans.

I have a pusher on the condenser and the fan motor sticks out pretty far and causes the 3" thick intercooler to be out pretty far but its not bad.
