Default How many still have A/C?

Getting rid of my AC in Arizona just isn't an option. How many of you guys kept your AC with a turbo setup, especially with truck manifolds? Pics would be appreciated.

Keeping AC was a mandatory requirement for me. I went with the aps and upgraded turbos. It depends if you consider AC an option or not.

Huron speed is finishing up their a/c kit. a member on here is putting the kit on their car for final fitment and tests. it uses a c6 manifold on the passenger side and a truck manifold on the driver side.

Athlon2k2, what did you decide on doing as far as keeping A/C? MWC turbo k-member and relocated condenser?

I do. It's a similar case in Florida...what good is a car to me that I can only drive 2-3 months out of the year? For me, losing AC just wasn't an option.

for you guys who may be interested, the earlier you get in the group purchase, the better your deal will be. not to mention the more people who get in the cheaper it will be for everyone! know a friend who needs a kit? talk him into a sale and i will offer you a "bird dog" basically a prize for making us a sale!
