Today I finally received my Nsport kit after waiting an agonizing six months. Needless to say I'm quite anxious to get my car up and running. I was trying to test fit the turbo assembly w/ the downpipe attatched but it seems that there isn't enough room for the a/c line behind the downpipe, it gets pinched between the firewall and the downpipe. Is there another way I can run my a/c line? I've been thinking about taking the whole system out since I rarely use it plus the added benefits of extra cooling capacity and weight loss.How many of you guys have turbo's with a/c?

My XS kit fits fine and my A/C works perfectly. I haven't heard of any issues with the Nsport Kit and air conditioning. Got any photos?

If it's a 3 inch downpipe, its going to be close no matter what I believe. You'll just have to move the a/c line around until it all works probably :)

I had A/C in my 91. I built a custom 2.5" DP that cleared everything. I'll see what happens when I make the 3" DP this spring.

It's a 3" downpipe and I guess I'll try moving things around for now, hopefully that's all it takes.Thanks guys.
