Dual radiator fans
 
I belive the P1 has them doesnt it, worth fitting them to uk turbos?

Should just be a matter of wiring it inline with the other one surely?

AFAIK the 'other' fan is used by the air-con when the car is stationary.

any scoob or pretty much any other car has 2 fans when it has air con. they both kick in when the air con compressor works so that the extra load doesn't make it over heat.

No real gain adding another one then? I suppose the extra cooling may help

If your car gets driven hard a lot then it may help,but otherwise i would'nt bother. It will make the egine cooler admitedly,but the downside is that it will always be below its normal working temp,so oil stays cooler etc,so although not quite the same,it would be like driving fast without allowing the car to warm up properly first. I can only see that as a bad thing :( imho
