Default 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.

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 *** check valve that will not let boost hit. (all cars have these)
