Just depends on which kit you get. Some wont fit with the A/C and others will. Also depends on the size of the downpipe. Usually 3" dp require the A/C condenser to be removed. Also the deisgn of the manifold, where it places the turbo.

Kits that keeps the A/C (i think)
DRAG, Greddy, RevHard 2C, Inline Pro manifold, and SFP

hope this helps

correct.

but you can keep your ac with most kits, the only time your gonna have a problem is if you go with a tubular or custom manifold.

Greddy and MaxRev (and I think Drag, correct me if I am wrong) kits allow the use of A/C in most applications.

A/C rocks I would never ditch it My rev-hard kit let me keep it after putting a little dent in the 2.5" dp.... nothing major.

one thing i would recommend if you run turbo and retain a/c is to wrap your upper a/c hose because i ended up burning through the hose due to the heat being emitted from my turbo. it sure shocked the **** outta me when i pulled into get dinner and i hear PASHHAHSHHHHHHHHHHh and see steam vent from underneath my hood in a large *** cloud. it inspired me to ditch my a/c as well as go with a 3" dp
