Default Which is best push or pull?

As far as rad fans are concerned which is best push or pull. Is there more space fore or aft of the rad when in place. I want to fit as big a fan as possible to keep things cool when turbo time comes around.

Thanks

a pull fan in suposed to be better IIRC and a single large fan is better than 2 smaller ones

I've been looking at these, would there be clearance for a 85 mm deep fan motor on the pulling side?

As already said air being pulled through the rad is better so fan nearest to engine

OK I guess it's a case of making it fit!
