hey im planning on getting the pte sc 6031re from my friend... hes making me a good offer so i want to look into it... Its currently still on his car and the waste gate wont allow clearance for the right radiator fan. i was wondering if it would cause the car to run hotter that normal? or if the Honda radiator swap would be more appropriate? i just don't want the car to run hot or above avrg.im sure some one has the same issue he has. thanks guys
 
It depends which side you mean by the fan on the right side (standing at front of car or in drivers seat?). I'll assume you mean the drivers side fan? If so, thats the AC fan, so if you don't mind your AC not working & the other parts of your cooling system are functioning correctly, you should be alright as the AC fan doesn't normally come on under reg conditions to keep the car cool. Its all done by the main pass side fan normally. I do believe if you get hot enough, the AC is supposed to switch on as well, but not sure at what temp (would think 220 or more). So unless you typically run that hot (which you shouldn't & should look into if you are) you should be alright with no drivers side fan.

Depending on WG placement slim fans are also an option sometimes. Most won't move as much air as the stockers but they are better then nothing.
 
I have no room for a fan on the driver side because of my wastegate. So I don't run one. OR you can put it in front of the radiator or a/c condensor.
