Forced, I'm going to get a clutched fan one of these days, but its really a case of money right now. I had to spend the money on the radiator, and this fit the bill and was cheaper too. Total it cost me about 160bucks for the radiator, hoses, intercooler (I had it already) etc. I want to add a 300dt oil cooler down the road, and I may put on an electric fan ( I have a few on the shelf), but I like the mechanical one as it always works.
CI that is the oil return for the turbo. I didn't really have any better place to put it, but it has worked out great so far.
I just drove my 130mile commute to school and it seems to work great. The coolant temp is about the same, so I think it maybe getting time for a thermostat, and to also check the calibration of the gauge. The new radiator is a 3 core all copper and brass, it should have plenty of capacity for my needs. The EGT's are a little lower, but the wastegate is leaking, so its a lot slower to make boost. I'm going to install a boost controller so I can easily adjust max. boost and put more tension on the wastegate to stop the leak. After a spirited drive the intake manifold was cold to the touch, so the intercooler is working well.
