Hey guys,
I am at the point where I need to make a decision as to what brand A/C should I use in my mk iv roadster.
Seems most are using the system from North Racecars with maybe not the desired results.
Also out there is Restomod Cyclone system. Can anyone give me advice on These 2 units
or any other units you are aware of.
Thanks

Vintage Air is another option (the Gen II mini is the smallest). Randy has put it in his car. Look at post #6. If you use the Vintage system, you need a fixed displacement compressor and not a variable displacement compressor.

Does anyone have photos of the vintage air installation?

I have used the NorthRacecar unit in 2 MK4's with great results. Both cars had SBF. 1-347 and 1-427.

I'm using the North Race Cars unit in a MK4 with a Gen1 Coyote. Works good.
