FMIC question

[slowboy101]

if I get a FMIC do I have to get a new radiator and fan or can I use the stock one?

You can use the stock fans and radiator, they don't have anything to do with a front mount. It is tough running the turbo to inlet on a front mount on 1g's but it does fit.

alot of dsm gods I know were saying i HAVE to get a slim fan

[Constant_Project21]

You don't HAVE to. It makes it way easier, but I made mine work on my Laser. Then again we did a lot of custom fab, and I wanted to keep my power steering and a/c so I did a different routing on my turbo to inlet.

Stock radiator is fine, but you may need to get some slim fans.

If the stock one fits, keep it. Otherwise, two 10" or 12" push fans mounted inbetween the FMIC and the radiator are always a nice solution. Last thing you want is to overheat your car.

Also, I had a Flex-A-Lite FAL dual fan setup on my 2G that was freaking awesome. It mounted on the engine side, but man it did a good job.

I was using the two stock fans with my FMIC until I went to an external wastegate, then I had to remove the AC fan and just recently installed a pusher on that side.

It depends on what turbo you are running, but you will likely have to get a slim line for the one on the driver's side. You can usually keep the pass. side one stock.
