Default A/C Problem, warm at idle, cold on the go

With the A/C turned on, and if i'm at idle for a long period of time, I could slowly feel the a/c warming up a bit.. As soon I get on the go, the a/c begins to get cold again.

This problem started ever since I replaced the a/c fan with a 10' pusher fan due to my turbo setup.

Could it be my fan isn't cooling enough?

That's a good possibility, the condensor needs good airflow to do it's job. Does the fan fit up against it? Would making a shroud push more air through?

it does fit against the radiator and i wouldn't think a shroud would help more air flow.

Do you mean the condensor? What year and model car?

yeah, u most likely need more refrigerant. sounds like a problem i had in the past. Recharged the system and was fine, also look for any leaks in the system.
