Default Front Mount Intercooler

hey guys, in process of getting front mount intercooler wondering if anyone has pics of where they mount fans? and where are you better to put them? on front of intercooler or inbetween radiator and intercooler etc? Cheers

If you want them on the cooler make sure you get an uprated fan switch and an 82 degree thermostat

well that was another thing, my fan is on a switch inside the car so would I be better to change it back to sensor or some people have told me to take switch out and bypass sensor so as soon as ignition turned on fans are on? My bros xflow does this but I always thought it was better for car to heat up and allow fans on itself? Another question is will car run fine if I change it for my double capacity? Or will it need fettling with to run etc? Car was jst setup but cam went so replaced with a less racey one so know fuelling will need adjusted anyway but got told to upgrade cooler and fuel system so thought they would possibly need done same time?

i'd change back to the sensor for the fans. i've had no issues with mine run in the normal way, temp needle doesnt go over half way. Spends most its time 1/3 up.
