So anyway while doing my 3L swap I accidentally slit my low side ac line while removing the old 2.5. I got the replacement line, and now that my car has run reliably well for a few weeks after the swap, I want to finish up the other secondary repairs including this one. Before anyone just tells me to go to a repair shop, I am a lot smarter than just someone with a top off can and hose. I have and know how to use an ac gauge manifold and a vacuum device. I am able to pull a vacuum and hold it without any loss of vacuum over the course of many hours so I know I performed the repair correctly and I know our system has about a 24-28 oz capacity. Right now our avg daily temp is around 70 degrees and with that the low side should be reading around 30 psi when in operating range. (At least that's what I'm told.). What I am unsure about is what is the range the high side should be operating at when the compressor is running just to verify how my system is running as a whole.
