It'll come on to cool the radiator at idle since there isn't airflow going through the radiator, to cool it. If the a/c compressor is on it'll either have it's own fan to help draw out heat or use the radiator fan if you only have one.

Oh.. People usually get rid of the whole a/c system when they install turbos. Probably won't be able to use a/c with the intercooler and stuff I'm not too sure.

you can have a half radiator...that is not the issue. the 2nd fan is for the a/c condenser, to cool it off. as long as the condenser is installed with it's fan, you can do whatever you want with the radiator.
