I tested it today and I was at WOT through out all the gears and it never warmed up and I did have less power. I stopped at 110 and the A/C was still ice cold and blowing just as hard as it does when parked.
That's just weird. I got to thinking after what Intruder said, most every car I've ever owned did the same thing. Wonder if they changed it in 02?

Its normal. I tried it on my wifes 02 GT the other day and it didn't do it so I guess it has changed. We would get people coming into the dealer sometimes saying that they had a problem with their a/c because it would go off while they were getting on the freeway.

we just had a talk abou this on the wrx board yesterday. the a/c turns off at full throttle to save the compressor at high rpm.

Do you have a custom tune? Or it could be your U/D pullies.

I dont think its the UD pullies and I dont have a custom tune. I think everyone's a/c in here is just messed up or something. lol
