I'm in the process of replacing all hoses, dryer / accumulator / throttle
suction valve and retrofitting to R134 on the 912e Porsche. Surprisingly
the total for all parts is only about $270.00.
I also added a Vanagon front condenser under the Porsche. (Thin version
1.25" tube type).
The A/C Teck said it'll about double to capacity of cooling when coupled
with the standard Porsche unit.
I'm guessing about another $70.00 in misc before it blows cold.
