I used a Hayden Performance slimline Fan. It mounts on the radiator.

You can pick them up anywhere. I got mine at Canadian Tire, but Partsource sells them as well. Try your local mass parts store.

Works like a charm

No, I don't. Though with my setup, Im sure that the condenser would fit between the intercooler and rad.

If I were in South West Florida, I would have one. Being on the West coast of Canada the sunroof and windows are enough for the 2-3 weeks a year that it is required.

I sure don't. When I get everything back together I'll take some pics.

A machinist at a local raceshop did all the piping work as well the Intercooler . It was a bit of a package deal. But I think the downpipe cost about $300 CDN

Hey dude, do you have a flexpipe? From your pics it doesn't look like it. With a transveresed engine, you're gonna end up with cracked or broken pipes in no time w/o a flex

The "Flex" section is corrigated, so it adds flow restriction. I went for the "graphite doughnut" and spring route. Much better flow and still saves the pipes.
