Fan in front of IC??
I just thought about installing a pusher type fan in front of a frontmounted IC. Would this be beniffincial or hurt cooling effects? I mean, what about at high speeds? Would the fan just block airflow going into the IC? Would the fan spin fast enough to keep up with rushing air?
What are your thoughts and opinions?

it would only help when sitting in traffic.Then whats the point because your not going anywhere soon or fast.it would give cooler air at a stand still.if your worried about the heat (hot weather) then route one of your window squirters to the intercooler so it mist's water on it when you want. the water will help cool the air.

Kinda of the topic but anyone know where I can get a a nonflex fan in MN? Haven't had much luck looking for one. It wouldn't be for a teg.

I would think putting some ducting before the IC would help more than the fan while moving. Also, if you do chose to go the fan route, pulling is more efficient than pushing......
