Default A/C Compatible

on turbo kits descriptions i always see not for use with a/c

obviously this means u cant have a/c with that kit and i kno its somewhat common to not have a/c with a turbo, but my question is what is it about the setup that makes it either a/c compatible or not? is it the size of something, location..etc.?

The wastegate placement and turbo placement make it none ac compatible.

An a/c compatible manifold postitions the turbo out of the way of the compressor, fan, and all related lines for your specific model.
