Removing the A/C to fit a turbo ?

I am not sure if I have to remove my a/c to get a turboto fit. Can anyone pleae answer this for me. With a turbo installed on a h23a1, if anything, what gets taken off ? How close of a fit is the radiator ? Is an oversized radiator not a good idea for a turbo on my motor ?

It all depends on what manifold you are going to use.

I believe almost all the log style manifolds are A/C compatible. If you have tubular manifolds, some may not be A/C compatible and may require a smaller radiator. Read the fine prints before you purchase the manifold.

If you want to keep your AC, your best bet would be to use a log style manifold I believe. With a log, the turbo will sit more to the left, rather then the middle/right side of the bay. Also keep in mind, with some log style manifolds you may have to alter, or remove your front motor mount.. this depends on the size of your turbo.
