Suction Hose replace double check.. (help please)
Ok so yesterday I noticed that my AC wasn't as cold as usual, and then I noticed that cycling the AC button didnt cause the rpms to move around. I did a little hunting (about 30 seconds worth) and realized that somehow the suction line had got pressed up against my wastegates pipe. I pulled the line away and heard a hisssss (very slight) At this point I realized I found the problem. Apparently my pipe had melted a hole in the hose, and all my refrigerant had escaped.
So tomorrow I plan on fixing the hose, and after I need to add more refrigerant. I have a few questions to make sure I do it right as this is my first time doing AC work. I have no sticker (that I can find) with my specs, so I have looked around for answers but I want to have them double checked and approved by you guys.
1.5lbs r134A
Start engine
Run a/c on high
Take blue cap off, plug in the recharge kit, hold can upside-down, and depress the nozzle. while holding nozzle, tilt can back and fourth till empty.
Good pressure will be 25-35psi
If so I was planning on buying this...

and an extra can of this...

What do you guys think? Am I missing anything? Anything else I should know?
