i run the magic stick and I have no problems with running my ac. The only time it has a problem is when I start the car and I forgot to turn the ac off, it has a little trouble tryin to find idle, but I just turn it off.

You have to bump up the max idle air offset. Its an idle trim that automatically measures how much extra air is required when you have the a/c on. Stock, its limited to .50 g/s. I bumped mine up to 2.0 and havnt once it learned itself out, i havnt had any trouble. Make sure youve got your RAF inline first.
