Default turbo manifolds/keeping AC

Has anyone successfully been able to use a STD or HF manifold turbo setup on their D series motor, and keep air conditioning?

Not without some custom work and creativity.

It can be done, but it does require a lil custom work. I think it requires the turbo to be turned at and angle and you need to relocate your air conditioner condensor.

You could get an Integra condensor, that might work. They mount in front of the radiator.

Just need a couple inches of breathing room.

LoveFab.com makes one that is said to be made for use with AC. It might just be for Bseries though. :dunno:
