Had the whole turbo setup off this weekend to replace the exhaust manifold gasket and took the fan off while I was at it. Turns out the Zirgo fan motors are sealed and there is no way to open them to replace wiring. On top of that, the motor does not spin freely leading me to believe the bearings are toast.. hard to believe on a brand spankin new fan.

I still have a 10" so once I get the turbo blanket on I will be installing the 10" instead.. and I even have an 8" I can run as a pusher if needed. See my other thread about my "cooling nightmare" for a continuation of this..
