yeah I hear you Stan, but i've been keeping an Keen eye on this setup for many years, and I've been satisfied with all the road reviews of those who have put the 1.6TD into a aircooled tranny combo,. I also intend to intall an intercooler (already fitted audi 5K cooler) and am looking into propane fumigation (us campers carry a propane tank afterall) (link for those who are curious http://www.mrsharkey.com/lpg.htm ) along with possibly an Aquamist water injection idea to follow.. or at the least a intercooler water spray to increase the intercooler effectiveness. each engine system will go on separate with time to evaluate the improvements.. you and the list will hear my updates once the van is back up and running.
