Default fan on driver side fitment

There is absolutly no space between my turbo and the radiator to fit an second fan on the driver side of the radiator. Talking about only 0.75inch room. No fan in the world will fit. What do you guys do to get this work? I have no overheating with one fan, but I want to know how you guys work this out.

oh yah, I thought of that too. Where to get a fan which turns the "wrong" side? Or is it just possible to turn around the blades on a Fal fan?

Could you not just turn the fan on the flip side and mount it in the front?

Isn't that fan only for air conditioning? And it doesn't look like you have a\c by looking at the pic.

They sell SPAL fans, the thinnest and best in the world. Just buy one that is a "pusher" as mentioned before.

Usually aftermarket fans allow you to flip the blades around so you dont even need to reverse the polarity.
