Anyway, my retrofit consists of replacing every single component EXCEPT the two hoses  I had leaks and corrosion so I replaced the entire system piece by piece.
I'm happy to report that the vent temps are nice and cold, usually around 40 deg F after the R134a recharge couple of weeks ago. |
Turns out the conversion kit is not available from Subaru anymore. Also, those hoses are pricey, $190 for the suction hose, and the exhaust hose isn't even available (but 1stsubaruparts lists the price at $164). Are these some ultimate teflon & gold plated hoses?
