Default Boosting a prelude. Running with 1 fan vs aftermarket

Boosting the prelude soon and was fitting the turbo on, and noticed that Ill either need to run with one fan, or, get some after market slim ones. Any suggestions/recommendations? Anyone tried running with one fan while boosted?

If you are keeping AC, you will need 2 fans. If you are keeping the dual size radiator, I would recommend running the SPAL 13" fan. We just recently finished a customers custom turbo set-up and it's possible to fit a SPAL 11" puller fan on the condensor side. It's a pain in the *** to install but it works. You can also get away with running the 1/2 size civic KOYO radiator.

I ran one fan w/ full stock radiator and no A/C. I was fine on temps at all times on my setup.
