...and we can't tell you about it.

Actually, I'd think long and hard whether you REALLY need the AC or not. Cooling the radiator when the stock puller fans are deleted (for front mount turbo) is a big problem... a quick search here will bring up quite a few of us overheating when we're stuck in traffic. There are a couple of solutions to the problem, but personally I can't recommend either to you yet.

If you can "let go" of the AC, life becomes much easier for you and your turbo. Why not an STS for you, anyway?
