Mmm… turblo ford. :tup: > [@Viper966](#): > > see cars that dont come with ac are better cuz they have their own dehumidifiers so u can drive in the rain with ur windows up… thats my only downside to not having ac Unless the car you drive isn’t worth rolling the windows up during the rain. \<3 ---

Maybe you guys should have, if possible, welded the wastgate to the manifold, moved the turbo higher, used a different down pipe design and kept the A/C. :shrug: ---

> [@catalyst](#): > > Maybe you guys should have, if possible, welded the wastgate to the manifold, moved the turbo higher, used a different down pipe design and kept the A/C. :shrug: manifold taks up all the room between the head, accesoriesand radiator at the top of the motor, only room left on the drivers side of the header, and to put the wastegat there would have made the dump tube run right through the maf sensor turbo is just low enough to put the wastegate on the intermediate tube there was a different DP design, it was highly restrictive why keep the a/c if nick hasnt cared about having it charged for like the last 18 months ? maybe eventualy nick will upgrade the overall setup, and we can maybe slide the turbo over to the drivers side some, make a new intermiadiate pipe and slide the waste gate down behind the downpipe bt thats not a job for now or tomorow …more like for the end of next summer or so ---
