I agree

I don't think that circuit will handle the amp draw of those 2 fans.
It will, but for how long..?? Thats something none of us should even think about nor try..

Plus, the AC fan is supposed to coolant temp switched, not always on with the key and the switch temp is rediculously high for a cooling fan.
Correct, that stock fan will shut OFF when the ignition is cut off, even with the turbo timer running... the fan shuts down. Been there, done that..
I also believe that the 203 F turn on for low speed and 212 F turn on for high speed is rediculously HIGH, especially on a turbo motor.. Maybe for N/A that ok, but for a boosted motor... NO WAY, thats the LAST thing u need is to be boosting with water temps above 200 deg F...

Either wire them up with a new circuit to be on with the key, or run some sort of fan controller (the better way) and stage each fan to come on as necessary.
agreed again...
