If you are having to deal with overheating issues a aftermarket electric fan is questionable (IMO) and a wasted effort at an upgrade.

But it's your effort, so onward through the fog..

No issues with overheating, just want to free up HP that the engine-driven fan saps from the motor by replacing it with a more efficient electric fan. This isn't anything new; many cars have come factory this way. Why Audi engineers chose not to do it that way I don't know. If a relatively easy solution is available, why not? Just sayin'...
