Greddy VMIC and Air Conditioning
For those with the Vmount and running AC... did you notice any difference? My car is JDM and factory denso R134a so it’s going to work with the kit no problem... more curious if you noticed your AC not cooling as well or better?

There's a Greddy V-Mount thread that had some helpful tips on A/C for LHD drivers on the latter part of the thread. I'm installing a V-Mount soon on my stock TT as well (as soon as IRP is able to get them to ship) and curious about how well the A/C functions with this as well.
Currently I think I have a A/C leak that needs to be assessed as it's blowing hot air right now tho

Correct, but there hasn’t been a discussion about its efficiency changing or not.

for me running 134a it seemed to work pretty good and I leave in fl..
I had temps as low as 45* coming out the vents, putting a small fan on condensor may help with stop and go situations.
the condensor needs air flow and with the big gap it has (the way greddy set it up for) its hard for stock fans to help cool.
I'm not using a fan but I made sure I tried to seal every gap possible

Does your car have the belly pan on it still? Going to be checking the fans out tomorrow hopefully to see which way they are spinning. I don’t know why they’d spin the wrong way if they are since they are factory fans with just the Greddy fan extension.

I have a greddy v-mount, no additional fans on it, in very hot/humid climate(Okinawa, Japan) and I have no issues with it. But I did replace the compressor, condenser and receiver dryer with brand new parts because my olds ones were not in great shape. My FD has cooler A/C than my family car now haha

So I tested my fans… they spin clockwise.
I had pulled the pan down and viewed operation of the fans. They seem to be working as intended. With the pan off, I put a nitrile glove on the radiator to see if it would blow off. It did not. It appeared to be sucked into the radiator. I could feel the air being pulled down and into the pan.
I didn’t find any issues with any fan relays. They actually all look and feel very new.
It seems with my pan on that air is almost being backfed out of the radiator. However, it is still sucking hard. Beginning to think freon is the issue.
I cut the pan as directed in the instructions.
Any other ideas? My pressures on high side will spike to 300! Prior to the VMIC I had ice cold AC. My car is JDM 134a Denso.

It likely wouldn't.
I'm taking the car back into the AC shop this Friday to have the r134a levels checked. Speaking with @DaleClark we are both pretty convinced that my system may be overcharged. Fans are operating properly and I get suction through the condenser with fan operation. The compressor is working properly and all the other systems as well. I'll update after my Friday visit with my AC tech.
