why do you need to remove your ac for a turbo? Why won't it fit?

i have ac with sf turbo kit fine, I only run ac when above 100 degrees.. It seems as if it is ruining my car if I go under boost when using ac.

can't keep the a/c cause the condensor interferes with the intercooler in the front bumper and its alot more room for us to work plus i never use it..

turbo and a/c dont mix well at all. Much worse on your motor. I live in AZ and its 116 out. I still dont use a/c. Very unbearable, but Id rather not blow my motor. Id rather be dripping sweat out as fast as I drink water.

Today, I brought an extra shirt, got it wet, and threw it in the freezer. So Ill have an icy shirt when I drive home later, hehe. I cant wait. Finally get some ghetto a/c going on.

I still have my a/c and piping on both sides. I just dont EVER use it.

^For real!!
Anyways, what if during the summer you just boost as low as your wastegate will let you, could you use a/c if you drove like a grandma? Also i know if you re cruising for a while, boost pressure can build up, so could you let of the gas and put the clutch in to relieve built up boost?
