My sweet custom home made aluminum fan bracket for my turbo upgrade!

I recently installed my ETS hta3076r turbo kit, and after finding out that the stock fan would not fit I made my own bracket out of aluminum that mounts to the stock holes!

It's not done yet, but here is what I have.

It's still the same depth as the fan would be if flush mounted on the radiator using the zip ties, this is just a lot cleaner looking. The point is to clear the intake and this clearly accomplishes that. Looks great man!

Yeah, I'm going to cut the front top portion so it weighs less and only has the supports to the top of the radiator. This will also let more air swoosh through the radiator out towards the top of the intake. I will also make a little L bracket setup for the stock fan control box thingy.
