Todays story....
Nice day, around 87 degrees,
Snuck out of work around 2:00 P.M.
On my way home, i wanted to Lubricate the A/C system(long winter)
So, i turn it on,(windows down) for a few minutes..
Well, after a few minutes i find myself at a traffic lite. To the Left SUV, to my Right, pick-up truck. Light turns green and i go to take off,(take off= Keeping up with traffic) and everyone is just going by me like i'm in reverse...
Ohhh...the reality kicks in, Pathetic OEM intercooler tends to go on vacation in the summer time, And A/C system SAPPS power by the boat loads....Grrrrrrrr.
Turn A/C off and spool the Poor K03 turbo up.
Ohh...one more thing, It should be Illegal for auto makers to strap A/C units on 4 cylinder cars.
Thanks for reading

this raises a question
can one accurately dyno a car with a/c on vs. a/c off.
assuming same dyno machine and same conditions equal other than a/c on vs a/c off would it give an indication of the hp and tq lost with running the condensor?
