what fan setup are you running?
With a full size IC you need to run twin fans.

Put the fan on a bypass switch aswell! An essential mod IMO.

Just put a fan over-ride in mate, you can have the fan on constantly then if you like, and it will still cut in at the normal temperature!

Get twin fans, wire an override, and i reckon you will be ok

twin fans will do the trick.
I tryed mine with just one fan, it overheated like fook
now running 2 10" fans and GRS IC, no problems at all

2 10" fans are a tight fit on the std radiator, but with some trimming it will fit.

Good luck

No worries.

The LED is optional, but a good addition IMO. It will also tell you when the fan is running from the fan switch aswell
