Amark,

I've not had any problem with the Sanden compressor and the VPC condensor. I've only used for part of a season though, but I don't expect any problems. The real difference in the two condensors appears to be the fans & housing. See my notes below.

I did not install an idle compensator of any kind. I found that it did not have a big impact on idle. That was on my spare worn out engine. THere was a small, slightly noticable decrease in power, but not sufficient to want to turn it off when performance was needed. It also cools quite well in this Phoenix heat. Not nipple-hardening cold, but comfortable for me. I don't have tinted windows either which could help, but I do keep the car covered with my custom cockpit cover when its sitting outside.

Other notes in next posting . . .
