Default AC line repair

Hose got damaged and needed replacement. My turbo set up makes it extremely difficult to remove the compressor to replace. I found a kit that splices into the aluminum line thus repairing the line. Haven't tested it yet; debating weather to just put a can in to see if it holds, or get it vaccumed first.
