[Supras] mk3 cooling fans

[Jeff Corbat]

I agree with you there.  My brother opted to use a temp probe directly 
inserted into the coolant stream after the thermostat instead of the much 
less acurate rad tank contact method employed by the BM150.

I like the size, fit & cfm of the BM150 but I will likely change the method 
of switching this summer.
