Changed turbo setup and due to the turbine design of the td04hl, my larger compressor housing just barely clears the radiator without the fans installed. This is even with an angled adapter between the mani and turbine flange.
I have about 2" of clearance. Not even sure if there are low-profile fans that slim. Has anyone ever moved the radiator and condenser forward for clearance? If so, any pics or advice on the procedure?

put the fans in front and make them pusher instead of puller man. Problem solved without even breaking a sweat. :)

Do you just reverse the wiring to change the direction of rotation? Reverse polarity, I mean?

No, still OE. I'm planning on getting a better radiator anyway, so I was going to change fans then. A new radiator would be thicker, I'm sure. So that didn't help much with the clearance issue either. Wouldn't be that big a deal if I wasn't trying to keep the A/C.

forget a/c, get rid of the condensor and get one slim fan reversed.

I wished I had a/c. Not only for the hot summers here in the south but for when I have all my kids in the car it seems like the windows are always fogging up.
