Interesting metal duct. Haven't seen one like that before. Did you make it or is that what PFS is using now?

I bought the intercooler used here with the duct. looks hand made, but great quality....I don't know of any fans I could use with this set up. If you do please let me know.

BTW I have an auto too. No signs of failing yet. I purchased the bansai auto power fc harness and it retains all the shift poins perfectly.

I notice a quicker more reliable boost and much cooler air temps. Coupled with water meth injection i saw a drop from 60 celcius (140f ) to 14 celcius ( 57f ) under moderate boost ( 12lbs ).

well you would have to measure the fin area that fits within the ducting that you built. Then get a fan that would fit inside there.

It looks like maybe it's a 12 inch area?

Flex-a-Lite come to mind; however, any plastic electric fan would be fine (the more CFM the better). There's some on ebay for ~20-50.00

FWIW, I'm also live in the midwest, street drive the car and have that same IC. At stock boost, my intake temps are very reasonable depending on the ambient. I've never seen a need for a pull fan. Though I will be installing AI (post IC) sometime this spring. Since the OP already has that, I doubt he'll need the fan.

You need the rest of the PFC kit to cool the intake down more.
