Icon2 How do I route my turbo setup to keep A/C?

Just as it says, I am wondering how I can change my turbo setup from having the downpipe on the driver's side of the turbo, so I can reinstall my a/c components (condenser, fan, compressor, ect)? I heard something about moving the compressor to another location so it will fit? Does someone sell a bracket to do this? Thanks

Re-routing things like this will probably have to be some type of custom fabrication or some crazy gerry-rigging.

you have to buy a A/c compatible turbo manifold. usually log manifolds work best to keep a/c. hope that helps. and u probably would need a new downpipe made and u will have to reroute intercooler piping some.
