I need to fit a pusher fan in front of the radiator and between the air conditioning radiator.

I need to do this as space is tight between the turbo and the radiator.

Idealy, I want the largest diameter fan that will still fit between the two radiators. I may have to go for two smaller fans if that fits better.

Has anyone done this?

Also, I need to cut the heat sheild back so that it only covers the turbine and downpipe side. Has anyone done this, if so, do you have any advice? I am fitting a GT2871 with the 0.86 housing, so space is a real issue.

JohnS has done something along these lines, and i'm looking at doing it, had a slim line fan for ages, but not sure if the blades can be turned around to push rather than suck the air through.

But there is enough room by the look of it, and i have clearance between the turbo / radiator / fan, but i might just do it because i always want a challenge

You can get Spal pusher fans which are very slim. That said, you shouldn't really need it. I have the full heatshield, fans and radiator in place. It's tight but not so tight as it were.

Squid i had a long chat with Kenlowe today the same guy that sorted mine out i have a really good solution so call me as you need to do some measuring

I'm running a Pacet slimline fan. Ditched the double OE thing. Not using a heat sheild and not having any temp issues. Moved the fan right across to the aif filter side of of the rad and used some heat resistant tape and coverings to protect the wires and hoses.

About £90 from DT for the fan and it comes with a full fitting kit.

I have a GT2871 fitted with a heatshield and there's still some room between the turbo and the fans

Same here 13" industial Kenlowe fan with 1300 CFM with three cores to pull though (rad, aircon & intercooler). Pin mounted with 40A relay. No heat shield or turbo wrap. No overheating issues.

Nigel, did you have to cut or bend the heat shield to get it to fit over the compessor side?

I have along with tubular manifold
