Default cooling fans on innercoolers...

Just wondering since innercoolers can cause engine tmps to rise when air isn't moving through why not mount low amp. small elec. cooling fans? Maybe a dumb idea....any other thoughts?

The fan would block flow when you are moving.

Aquamist, that's what works. It spray's cool water on the IC's.

My temp does not rise even with my front mount intercooler. It actually stays constant in the middle wether I'm idle or not. I opened up the front end of the stock bumper for better airflow to the intercooler and radiator, I think this may of helped the temps. Performance wise, there is a noticable difference. My turbos spool faster and heat soak has completely dissapeared so I am able to hold higher boost at higher rpm's.

generally i think the main thing wiht the rise is the blockage of air to the radiator.. good to hear ^^^ that youre not experiencing this as i think this was the problem with the duh front mount.
