installed turbo: A/C isn't ice called anymore. wtf?
installed my drag kit and today was a hot day. decided to turn on my A/C and was hit with hot fumes.
sup with that?
what can i do to make it ice cold again besides removing my turbo? wraping my lines with some type of heat resistant wrap? get a colder thermostat?
it was hot a fck today.

Re: (Mr. Helsinki)
Yeah, it sounds like a malfunction in the system. If the refrigerant is low, the compressor clutch wont kick on. Check to make sure all your connections are good too, and that you didnt blow a fuse. Turn your A/C on and check to see if your compressor clutch is spinning, or your fan is on, if they are you have other issues.

I did just that on my Drag kit a while ago. The vertical AC line was sitting millimeters away from the compressor housing and eventually burned a hole in it.
Turbo + AC = no bueno
However, if you must retain AC, I know a member of HT (Muckman) makes a relocation kit to eliminate that vertical line (for Integras)
Good luck.
