hmmm i wonder what the biggest turbo you could get on that hf while retaining ac with a slim fan. I live in florida to and no ac is not an option when its 98+ degrees out and 90 percent humidity :S

And you kept the AC, not bad. You went baller on the coolant lines!

it turns out that the miss under boost was the plugs. i had some stock style denso plugs so i got some colder NGk's and that cleared it up completely. runs great. kinda falls off at the top but im sure an intercooler would help that a lot. thats one of my next purchases

all in all for the money i have spent it is a nice power increase and an awesome learning experience. you can read all day long but you still dont know till you do it

it falls off at the top cuz of how small the turbo is

some proper tuning fixed the falling off at the top. car pulls hard all the way now.
