Default fan controllers

well spend a long time lastnight pricing for fan controllers and now im wondering what you guys have used. the plan is to use the torus fan. i started with summit and found the flex-a-lite fan controller, but i was hoping to find something better. i found a hayden contoller but it was 50 bucks! so where did you guys get your controllers and how much?!?!

Is it worth upgrading the fan on a stock car? or the radiator? becuase I have a nice rad from my 88 than I want to throw on my 93 but its 100% stock.... should I just wait?

The dccontrol has a whole wiring harness with it i believe. But personally i can't see spending that much money on it when you can just put it on a manuel switch like I'm gonna do.

Just have to figure out what wire does what and how to hook a relay up to it.

Why dont you just run it to a switch and turn it on and off whenever you want to?
