I put a summit racing flex-a-lite fan on my FC. I believe it's #150. The fan pulls so much air when I stand behind the car or next to it behind the engine bay I can feel hot air blowing underneath from the engine bay... You can also set it up to stay on after the car shuts off so it can continue cooling even after you've parked and gone to work or whatever, just be careful not to drain your battery if you have the tstat set too low. My only complaint was the mounting hardware that came with the kit, but if you're good at fabricating it shouldnt pose too much of a problem.

Here are the details on the one I am using. I think it is the same as pengaru talked about

Boosted12a uses this fan on his turbo 12a.







I also like this one.

Geez boys' they look like something Bruce Lee would use in his movies!! Over here I basically use 'Davies Craig' fans. I'm not sure if you guys get them over there, but their very good. My advice I give to customers is it's worth spending a little more for something that is thermostat controlled and has a good CFM rating. Just remember the engine behind it you'll be saving.

A black magic fan works well, and has it's own shroud. It looks like it was made for an FB
