I am getting my Alpha Turbo installed on Tuesday. It's a stage II with the inter cooler. I know heat is a real enemy of a turbo. On my 72 chevelle I run an electric fan in front of radiator that adds more cooling. Just wondering if adding a small high CFM fan would be worth it? @rabtech @Jeff@DDMWorks I am not sure how much room there will be or if even worth it?
Should I add an electric fan for turbo?

Not 100% sure but I have not seen anyone getting their coolant temps to high with the turbo kits. What I may suggest is an oil cooler. And it just so happens we are in the process of producing a kit. If you have seen our supercharged sling you may have noticed our oil cooler and oil filter relocation kit. It adds around 2 qts of oil to the system. That would help keep your turbo sling lubed and cool.

Please forgive the quick, dusty pictures.

Mine didn't run any hotter with the turbo until I installed the Polaris shroud behind the radiator, so I would say that a second fan is not needed.

The Production kits are not in just yet but should be soon. We will keep you posted on when they will be arriving. -

I emailed Dave yesterday with a final list for a quote on an engine and some other parts. If you have pricing for the oil cooler set up please ask him to add it.
Thanks

If you track your SS, oil cooler is a must. For every day use, not sure its needed but it can't hurt.
