Default y8 turbo and keep a/c???

ive been hearing that you cant expect to keep a/c if turboing a y8...or at least not if you dont relocate the compressor or whatnot...

is there any combination of exhaust mani + dsm turbo (14b...t25) that will clear the a/c comp on a y8 (and clear everything else at the same time)

for example, will hf mani + t25 clear a/c?

help an FI newbie out

there are tons of kits that keep the AC on the y8.

greddy, eddelbroke, and i believe your hf mani will fit without removing AC.

when you start getting into the larger turbo's you might have issues.

usually you will have to remove the fan, and run a slim pushed fan in front of the condensor.

i'm running a ram horn style, precision sc50 with a/c
