Got my new monster spal fan installed, left the A/C fan where it was and installed my very thin spal fan that was on the radiator between the intercooler and a/c condensor. I am having no problems so far!!!!!! But I haven't taken it out in 115* weather yet, but I think she will be fine!!!!
Now...onto all the other little problems with the car...

No, I took my radiator spal fan, which was like 1.5" thick and mounted it behind the FMIC to blow air into the a/c condenser. It wasn't pretty, and it was a hella tight fit, but it worked, and I spiced into the radiator fan wires so they turn on at the same time.

Reversing the wires should work but it doesn't on SPAL's. Maybe it does on Slimlines. When I hooked mine up, I wasn't sure which was pos/neg and had it backwards and it didn't spin. When I reversed the wires, it worked fine. As long as his is mounted on the backside of the condenser, it should blow through the rad. just like a pull fan would if mounted on the front of the radiator.

okay, that doesn't make sense to me why a fan turned upside down would blow air any other direction, the blades still face the same direction...but I checked before I put my FMIC back on and it is definitely blowing backwards. Don't even know if it is helping much though because that huge spal fan blows like a mother.

It's not the fan upside down, it's the blade (upside down meaning the blade is flipped over, not rotated). When the blade is flipped the air flows in the other direction.
Is your fan on the front of the Radiator/condensor? and is it blowing into the engine bay? I'm not sure I am reading it right.

Basically, the pull fan is butted up against the FMIC as if it was butted up against the radiator...just a different location. Not that it needs to "suck" air out of the FMIC, but on the back end, it blows air into the A/C condenser.
Edit: I can draw a crappy MSPaint picture if it would help you all see it.

I'm at approx 210* regular and then I turn on the a/c and it just climbs and climbs until my check engine light comes on at 234*, I turn the a/c off and it drops back down to normal within a minute.
i just want to see your mspaint skills. now go drive your car so you can tell us if it is fixed totally.
