How to keep inside of car cool in summer with a truck mani turbo kit? (no a/c) Ok so now that I'm going with a front mount turbo kit I have to remove the a/c. I'm really excited about the turbo kit, but bummed that I won't have a/c when it is 110* and humid here because that will be awful lol. Also I figured if we could get some good idea's on how to keep it from being to misserable to drive without a/c more people will think more about going with truck mani turbo kits! So I have been researching on ways to keep the car cool without a/c and I would appreciate everyone's idea's and I will try to keep adding idea's as I find them. I guess I will just start out with a numbered list of everything I can think of. And I'll add others idea's as it goes on. And NO making fun of me lol.
1. Big 12v fan!
2. Cooling fan car seat cusion or beads to keep back cool

There are other options besides a truck manifold kit. Keep reading there are lots of ways. I said "NO" to truck manifolds and went twin turbos with A/C. The result is my 'ol lady will hang out with me on a hot Saturday night. Personally I enjoy the company of a hot female. I like to make them sweat, but not because it's 100 degrees in the car seat next to me. It was over 100 degrees every day for several weeks in a row here over the summer.

You don't have to do twins. I just meant this as an example. Forward facing headers, and some vette manifold combinations can work with a single. Some guys are taking manifolds and completely reshaping them to work. I get why guys remove the a/c on track only cars but a mostly street car? When I bought my 6.0 motor for my build the guy had a WS6 with TT2's black interior no motor for cheap with a clean title. I thought I would leave with it too until he popped the hood. A/C was all gone, radiator was stood up no radiator in it, wiring was pulled into threads. I almost puked. Someone gave up part way through a turbo build. Seemed like a waste.
