I for one consider myself a/c knowledgeable and my results, utilizing "outdated/obsolete technology", as you are fond of calling it, speak clearly to this. How does 29 degree Fahrenheit vent temperature, at 30psi low side and 210 psi high side pressures (R134A), with 98 degree and 60+ % humidity ambient, remarkably quick recovery from extended heat soak, and bone chilling performance in even the worst stop & go traffic, sound?
This is accomplished with an OEM Nippodenso compressor, OEM Turbo 1/2 bay tail condenser (tube and fin), OEM nose condenser (tube and fin), serpentine evaporator, serpentine fender condenser with fan in the left rear fender, high side, high/low pressure switch added, GM blower motor with OEM 1987 blower fan installed, heavily insulated evaporator box, great care taken to insulate dash openings from outside air enty, replaced old, degraded a/c ducting, etc., etc. All work performed by me with knowledge gained from experience (reading, hard work & trial and error) and from people who know what they are talking about (including many on the board).
Ya', I have "no real a/c knowledge and" that "outdated/obsolete technology" crapola really sux!

I don't think Reid has the first clue about what he's doing. And his poor salesmanship and combative online persona really would give me a very bad feeling if I even considered buying from him. Actually, at the beginning of my AC journey, I did consider buying from him. I even inquired about the products. But I was blown off (like most all his other potential customers), and in my mind, this was a very good thing. I am very pleased to have not purchased anything from Reid. I don't have confidence in his products, and certainly don't have confidence that he'll stand behind them. I would have been happy to test a DIY application, and write detailed DIY instructions with photos (I have done this before on numerous occasions) and help him, except for how he acts online. And if this is the way he acts here, what happens if he has hundreds of dollars of your money? Over a thousand? I know exactly what will happen if I give GTI my money. I have direct experience.
Charlie is one of those rare guys that goes above and beyond. Sells a good product, supports it well, AND shares his expertise (free of charge) on the forum. Where is Reid during the AC season when folks are trying to fix their stuff? I have NEVER seen him even try and help. Even wwest is a better source of DIY info. Not much better, but at least he tries. Why in the heck would I ever give money to Reid for anything?
Reid, you are a liar. If you lie about such a small thing here, in public, what other stuff might you be dishonest about? After all your PM raving about taking legal action, you have the gall to act in the same way yourself? A liar and a hypocrite. Maybe better you go away for another year and formulate a business plan where you are not the company front man. You might actually sell more than one of these systems every two years that way.
