I've ruled out the e-fan. Primarily due to my Black Magic #150 having a built In thermostat. I'm still open to suggestions...

Yes would it be possible to have it activate a type of boost controller? I mean it would be electronically easy to do? Would it be able to do it? This is someting i have wondered about for a while, as right now my boost controller is manual, and really not that accurate at holding steady boost!

Ecaxtly how do you wire it in? I have '88 TII w/ hayden electric fan. I was origianlly using the hayden temp sensor and relay. But it was to close to the radiator and burned up.

So now I decided I would use the aux output. I ran the white wire (aux out) to the switch sensor on the relay. no worky. I tested and there was no voltage on the aux out. I looked at the wiring diagram and was confused on the -neg description of the white wire. I verfied the correct options were selected in the ECU options Aux Rpm and Auxmap are both off. I have set Auxfan at 86 to test and moved the value up and down to see if anything changed on the wire. nothing.

So now I'm back to square one.

help... I need to control my fan..
