What the hell are you talking about? How would you replace your AC as a intercooler?

<U>Common Sense:</U> Colder air is denser, therefore it creates more power.

i think his avatar gave him epilepsy.

Anyway, I believe he is saying that "what if you can use your AC condensor to make your FMIC colder."
But that does not make sense either. Unless you talk about spraying the Freon directly onto the intercooler, which, would be EXPENSIVE after a while.

where the hell did you hear that? Im certified to handle freon so i sorta know what im talking about. If freon depletes the ozone what is it going to do to ur engine? All it will do is freeze burn your fmic so please dont try!!!!!!!!

i was going to say, not only would it be expensive for just the fluid, it would also be expensive when the fed's send you your violation bill

There was actually a guy who incorperated his intercooler to run AC lines through it. It actually worked out pretty damn good from what I heard last.

let's understand something here. I don't think he's talking about spraying freon onto an intercooler...he's talking about running AC lines into/like an intercooler..like anthony said.

But this is more FI specific so t the original poster post your topic there and you will get more response. And be clear about what you are asking
