Can i keep a/c + p.s. with my turbo setup?
 
Is it possible to keep a/c and powering steering on a 95 ls teg having the parts listed below?

-drag manifold
-garrett to4e 60/63
-big fmic (24x16x3)

what side is the downpipe positioned with that manifold? what size downpipe?

btw, thats a really crappy manifold, but it'll get the job done if you're not going to boost a whole lot. and that intercooler is probably too big.

the downpipe is positioned on the left side (looking towards the car) and the outlet for the downpipe is 3 inches.

does anyone have a similar setup :confused: ?

hey snoop what's bad about the drag mani? looking at the manifold though, you MIGHT be able to keep AC (the bigger turbo may be your problem though) but where the wastegate sits, you may have to lose PS (you don't need it anyway, take it off it'll free up HP and it's not hard at all to turn anyway.

Snoopy 01-24-2007 09:24 AM

drag mani's suck because the wastegate flange is located on a single runner leading to boost spikes

woulda never thought of that, thanks snoop

thanks for the info. I'm currently looking for another manifold however if i cant find anything that is priced in my budget i will have to use it. I really want to keep a.c. and powersteering because i dont want to loose the luxuries of my car :D

inlinepro makes better cast a/c compatible manifolds. check them out www.inlinepro.com

thanks for the info snoopy. I went to one of local shops in my area and checked out the inlinepro manifold (just yesterday). I must say the build quality is way better than the drag manifold but it is quite expensive.
