    Default TURBO CHARGE or A/C??

    Which would you guys choose to install? Turbo charge that sucker or install AC?? Would love to boost but I'm afraid the raging ATL heat will kill me!

    I have a 98 ek.

    what on earth kind of question is this?

    If it was ME personally, and I only had one car - and a fiance' that refuses to ride in a car that does not have a/c; there is really only one choice.

    A/C it up

    If it's your daily driver, I personally would keep the A/C. I own a Starion, and I removed my A/C just to save weight. I wish I didn't. Black leather interior + steel bodied car + Atlanta heat and humidity....

    what happened to the a/c to begin with? did you take it off or did you get the car without it?
    it depends on what you're lookin for really, what do you want?
    power?
    or luxury?

    roll down the windows and stay in boost all the time and keep a water bottle in the car a squirt yourself with a fresh mist of water and it should feel like a/c with the wind hitting u for a while

    there are many ways around that without buying extra stuff... because the cx hatches come with absouletly no options and many people survive with them in rain, hail, sleet, and snow lol

    My CX's ONLY option is A/C

    But seriously.. Many of my cars have had no A/C. You'll live. The only time it sucks is when its raining and your sitting still, or its super hardcore raining. When its just light or average rain you can still crack your windows with the heat on. But it still sucks.

    I would turbo, and find a way to make the AC work if it was a daily driver.

    no ac for 3 years now... it sucks in atl traffic, but when you just dont have the room under the hood, you do what you gotta do.

    move somewhere that it doesn't get hot and then turbo it. Alaska is nice this time of year I think.

    Cold Alaska Air + Big Turbo = More Powa

    Well first off, the car came w/o AC. Came with a B18C5 swap. Just need to get the compressor and del sol bracket. Once that's done...nice cool AIR!

    We've been in a drought here in Ga so I don't know if I'm gonna have to worry bout rain anytime soon.

    Then again, I like the idea of boost and using 5 little fans inside the car...lol!!!

    just to let you know that you can use a b20 ac mount and it will work in your civic.

    Am I missing something? Why can you not have a turbo and A/C?
