Default no a.c.

For the past 7 months,I've always driven with the top down and had no reason to turn the air on,but recently when I tried using the air,it only blew room temp air. It was about 7 months ago that I had the aps twin turbos installed by one of the corvette shops here in S. Cal,so I'm thinking maybe it went away for good because of the mods.
Any feed back would be appreciated.

Donnie, the AC chould still be working. They might have disconnected the ac therefore discharging it. They might have just forgot to recharge it or you may have sprung a leak. But having the APS twin on there doesn't mean you can't have AC, it should and can be fully functional.

I would first check for low / no refrigerant. Does the AC led remain illuminated when you turn on the AC????

I believe our APS TT kits were installed at the same shop; I experience the same issue when I took delivery of my car and turns out that they did not refill the AC. Give those boyz a call quick to hook you up....it was 110* today here in Woodland Hills!
