Default I need an.. AC shop?

The AC line underneath the turbo intake (filter pipe?) is disconnected and I need to get that reconnected so I can get the AC recharged. Anyone know where I should take it?

It involves removing the front bumper, then removing that intake pipe, then reconnecting the AC line .. I guess you'd need a tool to push that in because it's a spring lock?

Any suggestions? I'm asking here because I have FI and normally I'd probably just take it to any place or even do it at home by removing the stock intake.

Where in NOVA are you? Go to Function:Tuned if you're anywhere near Dulles Airport.

I would but I feel like Dave would hate me forever if I asked him for something so simple lol

He's doing all these engine rebuilds, turbo kits, gauges, re-wiring ECU's and I come in and ask for a front bumper to be removed. I guess I could ask him if no one else would do it.

LOL nah.. that's so not true. Actually most shops like small/simple jobs. Those are what keep the revenue flowing for a shop.

dskang, what turbo are you running? Turbonetics is known for frying that line. If that is the case, the entire thing will have to be replaced.

I could, but I'd rather not. I used to do a lot of things (Nothing too major) by myself when I was younger but now I just don't want to deal with that now. I just don't have the time. I feel better that I know my car is being worked on by someone who knows the car like the back of their hand.
