Default EFK mod - update

The new A4 1.8T has an electric fan kit now. One more reason to buy SPP's EFK.

I searched for reviews but could not find any, I talked to Mike at SPP and they are backordered so someone is buying it, anyone here?<ul><li><a href="http://www.supremepowerparts.com/spr.htm">EFK (electric fan kit)</a></li></ul>

Default the 02 A4's have 2 electric fans?

or 1 electric, one mechanical like the 1st gen models?

Last I heard, a many have bought and installed them, and some are seeing strange things like ~2psi less boost, but none have shown signifigant performance gains

Default cool writeup, has anyone seen performace gains with it?

I noticed one guy measured a 1hp increase with a g-tech, but that's all I've ever heard.

I feel gains - but I don't have any "proven" numbers to support that

Default thanks for the info.

I'm not trying to bash the EFK, I'm just worried that it's a whole lotta work with no quantitative gain.

I put one on my 65 mustang, and there was a decent gain in power, but that didn't have the viscous fan coupling.

Default If the 2002 does use an electric primary fan it would be interesting to see how it is activated

That is one problem that I am having with the kits out now. They only activate when the secondary fan is triggered. Maybe I can adapt something from the 2002 to work on my 2001.5...Funny which forum do I post this response...hmmm
