It will want gruntier alternator + wiring for those thermofan setups.

I like factory looking engine bays & using as many factory parts on these so used vs v6 thermofan...it bolted straight up to vs s3 v8 radiator.

It's turned on in memcal tune but also added overide button for other reasons.

Look at adding decent catchcan.

I have been running AU thermos as a single speed setup for about 8 years without an issue (except a blown fuse here and there). Ill keep an eye on the alt though.
Hey mate, whats the idea behind a decent catch can? Cheers

Stops oil getting blown into intake & also relieves crankcase pressure so less chance of oil leaks by pushing out a gasket or doing rear main(imo anyway)

More power/revs=more crankcase pressure that needs to be relieved...just good to have,open is better but most don't like smell so use sealed setup.

Probably be able to hide 2 of the mace catchcans under the guard or radiator support & get creative with how hoses from rocker covers route to catchcan neatest way possible.
