Depends on the setup. If you're using a manifold that has the turbo located quite far forward (DP Engineering etc) then you'll need to relocate the rad forward of the slam panel and because of that, you can't use the standard rad as the header tank thats built in gets in the way. The cheapest solution is to use a 106 diesel rad and a seperate header tank. If you do that, you'll need to use a slimline fan (as shown above).
There's been turbo setups done using the standard rad and fan, but generally the manifold doesn't impede the fan because the manifold has been bodged in the first place.
