hmmmmmm, seen sum pieces of pipe and it looked just like that, no paint. just bare aluminum. anyways about the actuator, i wonder what really happens. cuz out manifold has a similar actuator but on the other side. i guess the one on ours is for the VIAS system or whatever. i never really reved the engine and looked at it.

well i went digging up today. so i found the AC filters (yea is 2 ah them) they kind ah stink, and seeing that i eh have new ones. i just vacuumed up all the loose dust and insects caught in the filter. the filters are only accessible if u take out the glove box, and its holding supports. about 6 screws and it pops out easily. then one clip and u can take out the filters. i'll have to price out a pair of new filters from massey. more than likely is a couple hundred dollars for it, that doh mean i paying it Laughing

nah. nothing noticeable, i figured that the dust stuck in the filters is the problem. so the only remedy is to change them. but the AC working good so i go leave it so for the time.

as we on the topic of AC, rodney, do u get really really hot air from yur vents when u now put on the AC, after u were driving with it OFF?
i always wondered if it was a problem, or if thats how it works Neutral

^^ i dont understand that..

is it that his gas leaked out???

cacasplat3 · Posted: Wed Nov 29, 2006 11:15 am Post subject:

nah, it gets cool after about 4~5 seconds, but once the car was parked in the sun or i was driving around without AC on a hot day and i put it on, it come hot for the first few seconds. i thought that would just be hot air trapped in the system Confused

sheit that is plenty money. Exclamation

u ever priced the air filter for the engine? i used to pay $35 for ah no brand filter. i doubt i would change the filters soon though, after i vacuumed it up that will have to do for ah next year or so, and besides, i only use AC on mornings on the highway and when rain is falling. i really doh like AC Wink

doh stick with the pics eh! Twisted Evil

anyways, i got all the hoses and clamps for the intake, now all i have to get is the piping and the vent filter. the filter should be here shortly.

this is ah pic of the hose packaging. notice the TurboXS logo on the top right side Mr. Green

^^ dont need dat kinda clamp for the intake..

oh sheit i forget.. excuse the 2 posts..

am the AC is blowing hot air for the few seconds becuz of the air inside the car fellas.. the compressor is ah HIGH pressure.. which is good so the coils get cold fast.. hence y after 5-10secs u feel cold air.. the air in that car is hot and as it pulls the air from where u all found your filters, to cool, the coils havent cooled as yet..

understand?
