and kylea, i kinda wish my mom didnt have a broke GSX, cuz im the one that broke it, all stock, 90k miles and still had the original timing belt, but sadly that didnt last it snapped when we were cruising down a backroad at 50 (speed limit 45) and the car just powered down and a week later we took the head off, all the valves bent, cams toast, head toast, pistons toast, con-rods probably bent.
that was a bad night.

she just jokingly blames me, but i take the blame since the day before we were roast all four racing and smoking a turbo b16 hatch. The guy was talking smack about how fast his car was, but he got beat down that day.
but he didnt have a tune and his clutch was slipping bad. Its alot faster now, and the GSX was stock.
no worries its gonna be revived someday.

I'll say keep your a/c and forget the turbo.
I just took my turbo setup out because it's too dam hot.
I think I can sacrifice speed for comfort.

^^ just get an A/c compatible manifold (log or cast), and a/c compatible downpipe. I am in the process of turbo-ing my y8, and I need a/c for the comfort. Once I can afford to have a second car, a/c will be pulled out.

some of the ebay turbo kits have a money back guarentee and SAY they work with your AC but not with your PS, some actually said they work with both.
oddly enough i can remember years ago when i got my first civic, back in 06 i beleive, someone on here mentioned a firewall condensor for civics, but it was only put on japan spec cars. I could never find it or the lines for it. And on the firewall i dont see how it would bring in any air, maybe im wrong on that i just could of sworn there was such a thing.
