    Running A/C and turbo?

    Since I have recently revived my stroker project, I am faced with a somewhat brain bending task: having full A/C and running boost on a 2.7i.

    Is anyone on here running this setup? If so, are you doing air to air intercooler? Water to air? Please chime in your experiences. I am finding it somewhat confusing to get a straight answer on whether I should get a puller fan behind the radiator or a pusher. I live in SW Florida, so keeping my M20 cool is a bit more of a chore compared to other regions in the US.

    I have a stock M20, boosted, and running A/C. I have an air to air intercooler, and I have removed the aux fan. To be honest, I just finished the build before I deployed and I did not have a chance to refill the A/C and see how it felt. I had to notch the core support for the A/C lines. If you search my name, you'll see my build and the initial pics.....

    I should get back next July and I know that is pretty far out from when I'll be able to provide an experience, but I think it will be fine....at least when the car is moving over 30+mph

      Just saw your build. It looks superb! I will definitely be using that as a resource. Be safe over there!
