I had a 10" that is now sitting in my basement. Its only the AC fan (as wired from the factory anyway)... so its not critical unless you're sitting in traffic with the ac blasting.
Perfect, and hard to beat that price too.

Four things -
1. Thanks for the link.
2. Wow, $29.99 for a fan and mounting hardware, is that cheap??
3. I would assume I could wire this to turn on with the turn of the Ignition key
4. 2.5 in at the thickest point is pretty thin fan then?

You don't want it always on. Car will take forever to reach operating temp which is bad.

Sorry I only had time to post a link at the time but that's the fan I used when I was boosted on the AC side. It flows just as much air as a spal and is just as thin when I compared it to my main spal fan. It was definitely well worth the money.
I have a few questions .I am planning on buying this kit https://www.ebay.com (commissions earned) would I need any extra couplers/reducers , extra parts?I really want to run my pipes thru the smic side and also thru the left side ,so like this http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/show...19prottege-build-thread&p=5544834#post5544834
Or this one? https://www.ebay.com (commissions earned) it comes with 2 extra couplers and I can buy a separate fmic core and be around the same price

you'll need a 2" to 2.5" coupler for the turbo
That's what I was thinking. I currently have hard pipes 2" on my car with the stock smic. I think I can use my tb reducer and place it on the turbo and use the supplied cuplers to go from the tb to the pipes since it will be all 2.5". So all I need is one reducer? What couplers would I require to go into the smic location and passenger radiator location?

If I am correct, yes you are running both. I think a lot of people on here do that... it's called a bypass valve. You have cold side hard pipes then I am assuming?
I bought the car this way .I'll explain as much as I can and even get a picture if needed. It has blue hard pipes with a hks bov and injen cold air intake.my pipes are 2" but my cai is 2.5". What looks to be like a stock bpv is connected at the pipe that goes from the turbo to the stock upper smic location and it then goes inline connected to some other hose

Your FMIC will eliminate the hot side pipe and SMIC, so I think that you will just run the BOV
so if i buy the ebay universal kit with the U bend pipes and couplers,all i would need after that is the 2'' to 2.5'' reducer for the turbo which i already have ..how many 90* and 45* couplers would i need to run the pipes thru the smic location and the left radiator section? this is my last question and then i guess im good to go lol
