Thought it best i put a picture up of my intercooler kit in here, it's made by "Jonny Tig". A lot of people may not of heard of Jon but his skills an knowledge with intercooling and tig welding are some the best to be found. I have no affiliation with his company but this is the second cooler i have had him build me now and i've been more than impressed with his work an product both times.
600x300x76 light weight Euro tube n fin core and 10" spal pull fan.

anyone else with a cross country top mount with the spal puller fan underneath having problems with the fan? mine is killing fans, I presume its the heat over time. I have been doing 16 hr drives and on investigation the spal fan only has an operating temp of 80c so its sucking air a lot hotter than this over itself. I think it would last longer with the fan on top pushing thru
I agree that on top would obstruct airflow, just trying to keep it working, all I can think of is the heat from being sandwiched between the IC and rocker cover is killing the fan. At the moment the one in there runs ok when the car is cold, but slows right down after half an hr or so of drivingI did plenty of 9+ hour drives and mine was fine. On top may help, but the consensus seems to be that the fan on top obstructs airflow at highway speed.

When I rewire it I'm going set it up so the fan is turned on and off by the level of boost via my boost gauge and a relay.

I just finished doing this today, put in a 40A relay and 50A wire to the fan, with a 25A fuse. I drive back to Perth from Karratha on Friday so it should give it a good testis the wiring to the fan adequate? if the cabling is too light you can potentially get a drop in voltage, and increase in current heating up the cabling. As the copper heats, the resistance in the cabling increases which adds to the voltage drop, increasing current draw, and heat in the cable. vicious cycle.
Maybe try heat shielding the motor and cabling to the fan, and increase the cable size so there's no voltage drop
