[QUOTE="rrpederson, post: 13455055, member: 36898"] ***Update*** Mark VIII fan is in, wired and working. If anyone is interested in a write up specifically geared toward putting one of these in an 03 with a single turbo and mishimoto radiator, I will gladly put one together. I took a bunch of pictures. Right now I'm still in the testing phase and have not decided 100% if all these cooling mods have solved my problem completely, but it's looking like the combination of the mishimoto radiator and the Mark VIII fan are removing tons of heat, and keeping temps in safer range. Today I drove it around in the same type of conditions that has made it run hot in the past. Today it got to about 98 degrees but there was a slight breeze. Drove in some moderate stop and go traffic for about 15 minutes while driving to a friend's house after about 30 minutes or cruising around with very little traffic.
