Thanks. We just did a second tank of about 500 miles at 34 mpg - over half this tank had another driver though, if you know what I mean. Still not to bad.
I found an air/water cooler on fleabay that should work for the space i've got. Were going to run it through the existing cooling system because the Ford radiator is quite a bit bigger than the jettas. And right now at an ambient air temp of 85 degrees, it takes the van 6-7 miles to reach full temp. We are hoping that stripping the heat from the turbo will help improve cold warm up times. If it becomes a problem, I'll loop it through a separate system later.
