Many of you guys know that, this is my first time went FI. Many headche but there was fun and learned many stuff about the car and FI. ( i'm sure there is more things to learn )
Couple days ago, i finally fixed my boost gauge and had fun over weekend. My belt became lose, so this morning i tighted it up the belt and looked over everything again before leave the house ( I had to go many place, town to town..).
I'm not a big fan of 'driving in hot weather', specially TX hot..but had no choice today. Went to this place and other place and then other place. During that hot weather..suddenly i felt warm air comming out from A/C ( mutaFa*ka air got hotter and hotter!!
)....
Got home looked under the hood. I can hear leaking from A/C line..I guess, time to go fix A/C....
Who willing to install Vortech in future, put some heat wrap around the A/C line. Just to be safe.

don't worry man, it's an easy fix. The long upper ac line is 85 dollars brand new. Very easy to install . you just need an AC line disconnecter. Getting it refilled is about another 90-140 bucks.

That's what i read from my research. I have to go look for how other people installed. Thanks for the price list.

I went to an AC specialist and had it fixed. It was expensive (250) bc I needed it fixed right away. They replaced the rubber line under the blower with a very thick one compared to the stock one so it wont leak again if the pipes rub. Also it included the green dye and AC refill.

Yeah I did most everything on my car myself, including the Vortech install (and now de-install).
