oh trust me jon, its not because of want or whatever..its cause I aint got the money to replace the whole system after the motor rebuild i did...then the opti going out and then me buying the GMMG catback...too much happening at once and then I tried to recharge it to find out the compressor is gone..if i had known that I wouldnt have bought the GMMG...and it is definitely hot..
