You can use a regular log manifold to keep your AC.

DD = daily driver

you probably should look into a different manifold.

it's gonna be pretty much impossible to keep your a/c if you plan to use the hf manifold because of where it places the turbo. if you really need to keep your a/c, you're gonna have to fork out a little cash for an a/c compatable manifold that offsets the turbo enough to clear the a/c components, but even then you'll have to get a thin pusher fan to put on front of the a/c (condenser i believe is what it's called, radiator looking thing) so you can remove the bulky fan that is currently on there to make more room. check out www.bmcrace.com or www.krbfab.com for a decent a/c compatable log manifold.

i have a hf mani to t3 and there is no way that would work with a.c i thought if i moved the fan in front of condensor it might work it didnt then the compressor got in the way .. just take it out or buy a kit.. its pretty hard to keep your a/c with a homemade turbo personally
