Default Need to fix my A/C install asap!!!

Can anyone tell me where I can go fix my A/C? I havent had A/C in my car since I installed the turbo kit and I am going to Vegas. I cant imagine driving around in 120 degree weather with leather seats.

I need to fix it asap anyone know where I can go? I need it fixed by monday.

did you break a line? if so, which one? upper or lower? or did you never reinstall the A/C line that TN supplied?

If you have all the parts to fix it, I'm sure any place that does AC can do it. Make sure to wrap those lines up good, don't want any of them going south while you're enroute or in Vegas.

Take it Sam at Gt Motorsports. I performance shop really needs to do this, since the majority of your turbo kit will need to be removed, in order to replace, and properly wrap your AC lines.

Yea Sharif has a point, totally forgot about the pipes in the way. Expect to leave it for a while too, all those hot pipes take a while to cool down before the shop can even start working on it.

I was able to get to the line without removing and part of the turbo kit. I had to replace it once before because it melted from the dump tube. So when it happened again I was really dreading taking all that stuff back off just to get to the line. So I got up under the car and was able to get a wrench on the bolt that holds the line in. Now I did remove the front bumper in order to remove the intake pipe that sits over the a/c line. But that was alright because it gave me a chance to service the K&N filter. I dont know if you installed the kit yourself or not so im not quite sure if you are really famililar with the kit. If you really dont know how the kit is all put together than I too would suggest taking it to a shop. I installed my kit myself so I am pretty confidant when it comes to working either with it or around it. Good luck!

I've heard it can be done by removing the front radiator support, which should be easier than removing all the turbo piping.

I just recieved the new AC line from TN but it looks different than the one I had. Can anyone show me a pic to see if I received a new version of it because I cant get it to fit.
