I blame the shop who did my install originally on the kit, because they did not correctly heat wrap the top A/C line (had a leak) and looks like who ever they got to install the bottom A/C line hacked it up (where I also had a leak). So I bought a new top A/C line and wrapped it better, and Reggie@Turbonetics is sending a new bottom A/C line. Other than that the A/C was always good, and will be again cause damn it is getting hot :icon38:

thats good to hear from you guys was all the heat wrap givin with the kit or did you guys buy more for extra protection?
|
i bought extra because I wrapped all the exhaust pipes too
|
just put in my TN kit on wednesday ..and no problem with the A/C yet
|
It's super. Thanks for asking.
|
make sure you wrap or completly move the wires on top of the a/c compressor, as they can actually touch the wastegate recirculation tube (on the G35 kit anyways). and they are around 16 gauge so a touch with a hot knife would melt them through <sarcasm.
|
what AC? i havent had one since the kit was installed. ive gotten used to the heat but sticking to my leather seats is the worst, not t mention having to roll windows up when i get a phone call. My car is a moving sauna..lol. turbonetics needs to send me a line if they can..thanks!

Yeah i will have them prolly install it if i decide to get that kit. they are 5 min away from my house so i would just pick some up if i need it.

My a/c line was installed by a local repair shop prior to installing the TN kit for $318. Ouch. On the way home it leaked out some of the refridgerant which I actually thought was just leftover drips from the new (sloppy) install. Eventually (within a few days) leaked out all of it which we did not realize until after we installed the TN kit and it was all burning off. I brought the car back to the local guy who installed the A/C line and he said that the line was probably defective which I think is BS. And now he won't touch the car with the turbo because it's difficult to work on. Since then I had my friend from Turbotrix look at it when he was at my house and said the line wasn't installed properly.
So to answer your question -my A/C doesn't work at the moment. |
My AC has never given me one single problem in 30k miles with the kit on...50k total on the car. Blows as cold as it did day 1. Although I don't use it often..
|
The line they provided melted on me, even through there was heat shielding plus extra wrap. I just got done replacing it two days ago. Now the a/c hose that runs up top decided it wants to do the same thing, even through 3 layers of thermotec heat wrap. BTW, my a/c had been inop for the last three months due to the first a/c line going.
|
so you guys actually thermowrap the aluminum AC line that's on the driver side up at the top going around the turbo?
