Losing your AC is a given with most kits, the bulk of the ac compressor and condensor take up alot of space in your engine bay right where the turbo will be hanging
ive seem a few people keep their power steering in their turbo cars, but ive never an ac system still installed

thats not really true. Most turbo "kits" are made to work with a/c and power steering. And a lot of companies or people make manifolds and downpipes to fit with both a/c and power steering.

Re: HELP 95 ls turbo with a/c & ps (H23 Power)
off the self ones that will see limited power
if you want a fun daily driver the kits are good, but if youre going for maximum power then you usually have to go with individual parts and piece together a custom turbo kit

no, even custom kits will work. You just have to buy a manifold and downpipe thats made to work with a/c and p/s. Easy to find in the sponsor marketplace - forced induction.

spoolinperformance.com has some good stuff, i got a manifold from em. the problem with most a/c compatible turbo kits is the small diameter downpipe due to space, but i've seen 3in with a/c.

Re: HELP 95 ls turbo with a/c & ps (dohckiller)
I would personally remove the AC and PS for convenience
I worked on my car with it on and took it all out because it was ugly and a pain in the *** to maneuver around and I dont have a turbo, so I couldnt imagine what it would be like with a big snail in my engine bay

lmao...its ugly? its a luxury to have those things...I for sure wouldn't take them out unless I absolutely had to. It's easy to piece together a kit that is AC/PS compatible.

it is ugly, my engine bay looks beautiful without it
it also makes it 100 times easier to replace the timing belt without it there
you can also fit a mendrel bent manifold with a larger downpipe for a turbo
