Slim Fan questions

Whats up guys. Finally beginning to finalize my turbo install. Got a few questions about the slim fan though. What size diameter should I get for the fan and should it be a push or pull fan? I'm looking on Ebay right now and see a couple of different SPAL models going for a great price. Hit me with some feedback guys!

Out of curiosity, how much did you pay for it? And thanks, that sounds like a plan.

You will want a 12" push fan. That is the largest that will fit in front of the rad.

I just got mine in the other day. I used a 12". And PLEASE be careful because I sliced the hell out my my finger because I got it caught in the moving fan. They move very fast and don't feel to nice. And yes I know I'm an idiot for not paying attention to where I was reaching.

This is the one I got: 12" Fan

How many cfms does our stock fan push? With the slim fan do any of you catch a noticeable difference in coolant temperature?

it hooks up pretty much the same as the oem fan hooks up. the easiest way is cut the 2 wires...1 blue and 1 gray than solder those wires to the new wires that come with the new fan.
