This interests me as well. Where did you see it? Link? Any clue if if would work on a Coupe GT?

Has anyone used this device in their AC and does it make sense that it'd
improve the performance as advertised below?

5° - 12°F colder air (at hot idle)
Reduced compressor load and extended compressor life
Improved performance when converting from R-12 to R-134a
Improved city fuel economy & emissions
Improved performance in factory R134a systems

Thanks,
Chris
