Default What size fuse for Taurus Efan Mod??

I installed it yesterday on the low-speed fan wire (brown/orange) and through an adjustable flex-a-lite controller. I also have the power wire just stuck in one of the spare relay switched plugs on the fuse box. I put a 25 amp fuse in line. Is this good or to much or to little? Also, the guy at Napa is saying I need it through a relay now? If so, what size? I have searched and found no fuse size or relay talk other than guys going to the high-speed side and needing more. Thanks!

Aaron

It may pop that one a bit too often. I think they draw about 40 amps on startup. Someone else can jump in here and enlighten us.

the lowside has an inital startup surge of about 40 amps. The highside surge is about 80 amps. To be safe use a 30a on lowside, and 60a on highside
