I did a second bleed and got a stubborn air pocket out. Seems to have done the trick. Fans come on right before third line now and cools the car right down. Hopefully charging the AC next week.
...but there's a few different temperature thermostats, I prefer the lowest one for the Turbo...
yep, I thought they were marked but this one was on the shelf in my stash and has no markings. I may just order a lower switch and thermostat just to be sure.
It's been hotter than hell here and it stays below the red even in spirited driving. Did a local car show on Sunday and it was flawless to drive.
Nicely done! How effective is the A/C?
Other than the condenser, were there any other aftermarket components used?
I replaced the condenser, receiver/dryer and all the o rings. Compressor is original. Used 26 oz of R134a. I haven't measured the temp output yet but it seems very comparable to my modern R134a cars. It was mid 90s and high humidity outside on my 30 mile ride. I will get my IR thermometer on it soon.
On my 928s, I typically can get around 35 degrees out the vents on an average 85 degree day. I would guess this is going to be more around 40 degrees.

Did you vacuum the system or just buy an "off the shelf" pressurized can product from an auto parts store?
