We are using 2 Spal pusher fans hooked to a set of relays that run the fans at 50% power when the engine is started and until a pressure sensitive switch is activated (under boost) turning the fans on to 100%. If you have an aftermarket bumper with a front opening the intercooler can be turned around and the fans removed. The reason for turning the intercooler around is to hide the fan mounting brackers

And the pics...

Before reading your description i was going crazy as in what the deal with the intercooler was. But I guess, if it works, it works.

No the fans push more CFM than is even required to cool that amount of boost....

Mia......Looks like the mounting plate for the fans , covers all the fins on the intercooler . Is there a reason for this ? Why not use brackets instead of a plate , so the rest of the fins are able to get air to them ?

Is there a chance that water can get sucked up into the filter? It looks pretty damn low.... just like the placement of a CAI. I just ordered my kit a day ago too. I scurred... is there an option for a bypass?

I know that Brad did mention to me that the fans attached to the intercooler can flow for more CFM than is even required to cool the charge air. So maybe they flow so much that allowing regular air to hit the intercooler wouldn't even make a difference. Right now I honeslty dont have an answer for that but I'll see what I can do.

That is pretty much the same height as Greddy, APS, PE etc or actually even higher then some of those...
