Interesting. Knew it would draw a bit more current but to a point of reducing power by almost 1/3 (feels like it anyway) that is a bit harsh. And a news to me for sure. Maybe the 2.5 is not geared for that huge compressor

Fine with blasting the AC on the other cars I have here... feels different for sure but no major power loss as the 986-like.
