ok so here's the scenario. Got a 90 Fox. Just finished the 3g 130 Amp alternator, install.
Now I picked up a Taurus electric fan complete with the pigtail. I know there is a retarded amount of threads out there for a Taurus install on a fox, but it seems there are some major differences.
Install options that I have found:
1. DCC controller

2. Flexalite's VSC

3. Hayden

I just purchased the Hayden controller. Which has a 30amp capability. But after doing some more digging, finding out that the Hayden controller doesn't have a soft start capability. Which from what I have read is required for the taurus fan due to it's initial startup amperage. From what I have found some people use this controller with the 30 amp relay that is part of the controller. Other installs I've seen people just get a dcc. And other's use the summit racing vsc and a 75 AMP RELAY.
Being that I have the 3g 130 amp alternator I know that's covered. Can I use the hayden controller with a 75 amp relay? Or do I need to take it back and get the summit racing model with the soft start capability, and a 75 amp relay?
(DCC is out of the picture right now. I can't wait 2 weeks for a controller)
