On most turbo installs where the turbo's are near the A/C lines you will need to wrap the lines with heat wrap. You should also look into one of the newer kits where the turbos are placed on either side of the tranny. I think GTM Motorsports makes them but not sure.

You have to sacrifice to go fast....however with the turbonetics kit your looking at you won't be going fast either. Find a different turbo kit I live in Canada and wouldn't even give up my AC.

Only if you don't search for easy to find info that's right there for you if you're really looking.

Check out the F/I for n00bs thread., and most/all kits retain all OEM functions in the car.
