Fraggle, carparts.com has a condensor for the '87 - '91 5 speeds for $75 with free shipping. I don't know anything about it other than it's supposed to be custom to the 928 and the price caught my eye.

I may have to make a bet on that one.

If the design of that condenser really is like the picture then that would be a *huge* upgrade from the stock condenser.

If it's an upgrade, how do you know how much r134a you put in it? AC systems aren't something I've played with much. I've mainly lived without, but figured I'd start getting my ducks in a row for a refresh on my car.

By upgrade I mean it is a different tube design that has a much better heat transfer efficiency. There should be no difference in terms of how much refrigerant oil and refrigerant the system should hold.

Looks like the dated round tube design like my '78 came with, and the fittings don't look right. Run away!

Fittigns definitely don't look right to me.

The Carparts.com one - if it fits is a bargain at 74.95. Now to see if they'll ship overseas.

I've ordered the carparts.com one. I'll take some side by side shots of it when it shows up.
