do you really need to remove the A/C compressor and the power steering just so you can install a turbo??
cuz my friend got a turbo and the shop said that the compressor and p/s had to be removed so the pipping could fit.

is there a way to get custom pipping so you can keep all them goodies?

 

It depends on the manifold and turbo used. There are several setups that will retain PS and AC, but there are those which require those accessories to be removed. Which manifold is he running??

 

**** im not sure.
i'll find out today

 

Take a look at my 00 civic si, on http://www.myspace.com/ny4pd
and click on pics then click on the pics with the car setup.
Its is all there for you, power steering, A/C and cruise control too.

The car draws alot of attention in Florida.

 

8 years ago when we did my drag kit, we didnt remove ac or ps.

again depends on the manifold.

 

a lot of manifolds will require u to lose your ac unless its specifically an ac compatible manifold, but pretty much all log mani's and ramhorn's will let u keep power steering, although some will require u to mod the upper bracket. I was able to keep ps with my top mount, but most top mounts will require you to remove both ac and ps
