Well if there really are simple coolers I can get in the under-$200 range, then I suppose I'll go ahead and include one. It just wasn't making sense to me to have the cooler be the most expensive single part in the system. (The compressor itself looks like it might be around $650, though I haven't really pinned down a source yet.)

I kind of figure I'll have to do something about the compression. Bring it down to stock at least. Ever since it was raised the thing has actually had less power than stock, though I don't know if that's the reason. Maybe I should try a thick gasket, just as an experiment, before I start on any other major mods. It doesn't have to stay in all that many miles, so even if thick gaskets are not durable over the long term, it might be worth trying.
