You want the thickest and strongest fan that fits.
Spal makes for 4 different group/ thicknesses of fans. They make a low profile, medium profile, high performance and extreme performance. Try to stay away from the low profile line as they flow very low amounts of air. The medium profile flows like stock and is still very thin. Try to run the high and extrem preformance if you can.

I went with the Spal 13" HP / High Performance fan. Just one and this car stays cool even during the hot 95 deg days! CFM rating is 1777 I believe. Trust me...go with it. I think I paid $120 shipped.

You will need a relay since it pulls ~20 amps.

Let me get this straight, you "went turbo" and you want to run a $23 fan? You want to run as good a fan as you can afford. You don't want to lose a engine because the fan couldn't keep up with the extra heat the turbo makes.

Quick lesson about fans. A curved blade usually moves more air. Second, cfm and amp draw are directly related. The ebay fan you listed is bs. There is no way that 12 inch straight blade fan moves almost 1800cfm with only a 7 amp draw. Like riceball said, stick to spal high and extreme performance. Also, derale, flex a lite and maradyne make quality fans and have reliable performance numbers. Pay attention to cfm and amperage. If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.
