Default Wrapped AC lines?

Ok i wrapped the ac lines that have black foam around them in heat reflective tape. Now my AC blows cool instead of cold. Which AC lines do i wrap to keep my them from feeling the wrath a my turbo and still have cold ac?

hmm, that's funny, it's colder when your moving and air is cooling the cendensor

anycase wrapped is better IMO if you have a/c

Mine are not wrapped and my A/C blows plenty cold, even for the past 6 months when the line towards the engine was pressing against the WG...before I re-arranged the lines to get them farther away from the turbo stuff.

This is probably what he used:
http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=3184

It's pretty cheap and free shipping but the handling charges will kill you.

You can also use header wrap. My downpipe was touching my ac lines, so I wrapped the downpipe in header wrap. It cost about $35 for a huge roll and you can get it at most performance shops.
