Hey guys. I hope this isn't a really stupid question but I need to know which direction the stock fans blow. I bought the Spal puller fan to replace my engine fan because now that the SC is in the stock one doesn't fit. Ran into another issue though and my factory aux fan doesn't fit because of my intercooler. Any chance somebody could go out and check which direction it goes, aka is it puller or pusher? The way I think about it, it seems ridiculous both ways because if it pulled it would just counteract the engine puller fan, but if it pushed how would it cool the ac condenser for air conditioning? Thanks to anyone who can help :help

Here is a terrible illustration I made to show you what I mean:

Aux fan = Pusher
Stock mechanical = Puller

It's all about forcing more air from the grill of the car through the radiator. So if fan is in front of radiator, it is a pusher. If it is in back, it's a puller.

My aux wasnt working so sometime and I didnt realize it, the mechanical fan is it enough to cool for a long time ?
