A/C
 
Im close to putting everything on my car turbo wise. My question is if the manifold is now under pressure will the vacuum lines for such as a/c controls, brake booster and what not still work? If not what is needed to be done so that the A/C still works and so the power brakes still work.

I can understand the brakes, because you would only use them when you're not on the gas. I wonder what keeps positive pressure from screwing with the AC.

thats a good question since on factory turbo cars like my vr4 there are check valves in the lines

Yes dude, the AC will not be affected at all, since how would the pressure of the manifold even be a bit related to the AC system? they dont even tap into each other at all. The AC system is driven off the AC pump. The brake system is off 1 vaccuum line from the intake manifold that has a huge ass check valve that will not let boost hit. (all cars have these)
