punishment o2 dump fitment

[gofer]

I'm getting ready to install my externally gated 38mm o2 dump housing I got from punishment racing and as I look down in my engine bay I'm starting to wonder if I'm going to have fitment issues. I do have super thin FAL fans and the stock radiator but it still looks like it's going to be close with that alternator right there as well... it would be great if i could get some feedback from someone thats installed one or a picture showing it installed.

Thanks in advance.

Someone posted a pic of the new MVS setup which is supposed to be more compact. There was only 1.5 inches of clearance between the wastegate and radiator. So theres room for absolutely nothing!

I just bought the damn setup too before seeing that. Dont know what Im gonna do about an a/c fan now.

K found the thread. Its even less clearance then I thought. 1 inch! Makes me angry everytime I think about it.

Set your fans up to be pushers. That would free up a good bit of room in the bay and you wouldn't have to worry about the WG hitting the fan.

Picture is too large for me to post but here's one. Looks like you need to remove that fan. This is not my car just one I found with the same punishment o2 dump.

There are many people including myself who have removed that fan and don't have over heating issues.

Damn thats close! thanks for the pics and responses I just wish you had better news because I do have overheating probs in traffic with one fan. If I can get some more info/pics from someone that would be great but if not I guess ill just get in there and see if I can't make it work with two fans.

I dont think theres room for a pusher when the a/c condenser is still there is there?

Damn, I didn't even think of that. I don't have A/C anymore, so when I was investigating a pusher setup, the A/C condenser didn't even cross my mind.

you can probably get away with just a single fan on the pass. side if its strong enough.
