Why? What benifit are you getting? Or is it just cause everybody else does so your going to? Now your going to have wires, fuses, and relays running around waiting to fail you when you can just have your shroud and clutch fan and don't bave to worry about stuff failing

Maybe the way you do things. I have multiple redundancies in my electrical system so I wont ever be stuck.

Your 20+ year old plastic clutch fan is a time bomb. Ever had a clutch fan take a shit? I have. Take a look at your fan, i bet it has nice little cracks in between every blade. No big deal now, but those just get bigger and bigger.
I used to run the clutch, yes it is the optimum cooling set-up. But i own a boosted KA, i'm always fucking with shit. The clutch fan and shroud are a pain in the ass when doing many things on your car.
Relays failing? All my relays are still oem and they outlasted the clutch fan?

Ever drop a VC bolt or similar while having a clutch fan? Maybe if you're a 7 year old starving child from Sudan reaching down past the clutch is cake, but if not, that bitch is annoying as fuck.
I have e-fans now and the headache they prevent is much greater than the initial headache they can produce to install (which isn't hard) As long as you get some decent fans.
