longer a/c line

[Mustangless]

I need a longer a/c line so I can re-route it. The a/c works fine if the car is cold, but once it runs for a while it just blows hot. I am all but certain the turbo sitting right on top of the line, and the dp running beside it causes this.

There is like 1/8 of an 1" between the hotside and the a/c line here

You can't really see it in this picture, but the downpipe runs right beside it.

I have wrapped the downpipe, but it still gets hot.

So, does like a crown vic, or something like that have a longer one that can be used? I am thinking about putting it between the inner fender and fender.


edit: could it just be getting too hot from the open dp? Its dumped right by the headers, only goes down like 5-7 inches after that bend

also, here is a better picture

I would just fab up a new pipe or have someone else do it.

My friend had this problem too when he put his turbo in. We cut the metal line close to where it hooks on at the firewall and we purchase AC line at kragen we bought about 9 feet of line just to make sure we were not short because we rerouted the line through the fender and came out where the other side meets the condensor and cut the metal tube there as well and just put hose clapms at the ends make sure you dont get oversize clamps get them as close to the hose size as posible and just charge it and thats it.
