Default Turbo guys...Is your A/C cold?

When I put a slim fan in and now my A/C Isnt even close to cold. Not to the point where its heat, just the same temp as outside. No matter how fast I'm going down the road, no matter nothing, it just isnt cold. Summer heat is killing me, what can I do, or should I say, what have you all done?

I know this sounds like a stupid question but are you positive the compressor is still kicking on and is fully charged? Never hurts to double check.

ive been going through the same issues ... sometimes it would cool good then after 15-20 mins it would kick off and not come back on.... i had a 12 slim fan and a 10 slim on the front of the condensor due to turbo room... i recently put the stock rad fan back on and what a diff.. ac cools super good and engine runs cooler, only problem is i had to take of my air filter intake so now ive got screen as a filter till i figure something out.. my suggestion is invest in some real good aftermarket fans.. .....

A/C. Hahahahahahaha. What is that? Nah just kidding. You may want to add an additional fan and have your system recharged or cleaned.

Mine is only cool on the highway, and yeah I'm using 2 slim fans from B18bturbo. But my A/C wasn't great before I went turbo, so I think I might just need a recharge.

I just had it recharged and it is still the same. Before the turbo, this thing would frezze the vents, now its not cold, and it sucks.

Well you know my friend,

I am experiencing the same thing that you do, I have a turbonetucs manifold that place the turbo very close to the A/C comp and my downpipe/dumptube is very very close to A.C compressor and that is the reason I think that doesn't let it freeze like before.

I'll trow some pics later on when I get home
