Those interested might want to take a look at http://www.sanden.com/sanden/products/piston5.html Seems Sanden has a modified 508 compressor designed for the 134a refrigerant, model SD5H14. Seems that most of the changes have to do with improved seals for the higher pressures of the R134a.

Apparently the first number of the compressor model indicate the number of pistons in the compressor. Sanden claims that the '7' series will have reduced vibration, reduced noise, and better performance.

Hope this helps the curious.
