[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 15945400, member: 8854"] I messed with that too a few years ago. Did you realize it's not even R134a. Notice they call it "replacement". It's actually a mix of propane and butane I think it was. What ever it was it's highly flammable. Had me concerned about a fender bender turning into a torched car. I called the guy selling it and he was rude as hell and blasted me for even suggesting my car's going to burn and said it would never happen in a wreck. Needless to say I tossed that stuff, flushed the system and went back to regular r134a. As for bypassing the heat exchanger I never did install the valve as it was horrible design the one I had. You can see it in that link someone posted above. However I did manually bypass the HE and then manually put it back in. I really didn't see any changes in the IAT2 so I just left in place because I had one my a/c quit on me once and with no HE that system over heated and puked IC coolant all over the engine bay. By keeping in the HE in the circuit if my a/c ever went out again the system would still operate as normal. [/QUOTE]
