OK i have a 88 T2 with 124,000 mi and it sat for about 3 yrs until about 3 mo ago. when i aquired it.. 
It runs now but has some problems. i cant get it to idle right, especially when its hot. I gave it a tune-up and cleaned the BAC but that didnt help.. Has good Comp Can anyone help me???? The turbo runs good, but there is a small exhaust leak after the turbo. Any ideas about cause?????

Could be as simple as an exhaust gasket on the leak, you'll have to take a closer look. You need to take a look at the TPS, I believe there is a topic about it in the FAQ's. You need to either clean it, adjust it or replace it if that is what is causing your idle issues.
You getting any error codes?

is there a way to get the e-fan from the ac to run after the car has been shut off so as not to heat soak the engine??? I also read the one for the ford tur efan does this relace the clutched fan and does the shroud still fit?? or does it make a differance??
