My air condition used to blow extremely cold before I installed my turbo setup. After the turbo setup, the air condition temp. is the same with the A/C off. I did install a slim fan as a pusher style during the turbo install. The A/C doesn't get any colder when I drive it.

Today I went to autozone and got a re-charge system(I know I made a big mistake), and I checked the pressure using the check valve included in the kit. Low and behold the pressure was way in the warning zone @ 125psi. My question is, what is wrong? Is it something I can do myself, or does it have to be professionally done?

Thanks.

high side is 125 or low side? is the compressor kicking in??

mycrx

just recharge it sometimes on older ac systems it just gets low after a while. if you rechage it and still nothing it more than likely has a leak. but who needs ac anyways jp actually if i did mycrx over again id have kept it. good luck

125psi on the low side.

I am starting to think that when I installed the A/C condenser fan as the "pusher" style, the fan pressed up against the line that runs on the other side of the condenser(high side line I believe). Would a pinching of a line cause readings as I have described above. I am gonna go check out the line sometime soon to see if it did pinch the line or puncture it. If the line looks fine, should I just go ahead and get my system discharged and re-charge it myself?

I just don't get it; Ice-cold before turbo, Hot as fire after turbo. Seems like I broke something during the install.

1. Is the flow to the radiator blocked. / Shrowded / Geting hot air instead of fresh air ?

2. If you take it to a shop they will fill it with Nitrogen and and check for leaks. 125 PSI seems like there are no leaks.

3. Check the compresor and while your doing that you could chk for any circulation problems.

The condenser is blocked by the intercooler(which really isn't in the way) and is blocked by the actual fan. I may try messing with the fan again, but i am almost 100% i installed it right.

I just went to check the lines out and I think I may have found a problem. The low side line is hitting the turbo vacuum fitting. The vacuum fitting tore the rubber covering of the line and maybe the actual line itself. I tried my best to feel for anything, and it felt fine. The line is not forced on the fitting(basically it has some play to move around). I begin moving the line up and down and I hear pressure being released. I always did hear pressure being released from that area when I would shut the car off, but I always thought it was my vacuum fitting not being connected. After a few minutes of unknown gas being released I re-checked the PSI and its at 100 PSI. Any ideas guys?
