I wouldnt be surprized if your a/c doesnt work? Since you live in Virgina it probably isnt used much? If you feel like you need it, then your gonna need a new pulley for that condenser new belt, frion etc. Of course if you feel like you can do without then remove the whole thing and be done with it. First thing i would do is a boost leak test, do a search if you dont know what im talking about. It looks like the lower coupler to the intercooler is not attached properly or did you remove that for the picture?

Otherwise grats on your purchase!

Oh yeah, he needs ac in va- it gets up to the mid 90's in the spring/summer here.

Do you know where i could get some turbo to manifold bolts? I thought there was a vendor selling stainless steel bolts??
That might be why theres lag in the turbo, kinda like a power surge.
Thanks for the help guys.

Buy these bolts at the dealership- just trust me on this one.
