RE: Nippodenso->Sanden conversion

["Avi Meron" <avi@cosmoslink.net>]

In general......it is the piston compressor that has much more volume and
capacity, your "Nipo" is a piston compressor.....it is "difficult to
understand how a rotary compressor can do a better job than a piston
compressor......it is true though that the rotary puts less load on your
engine but at the same token it also (in general), produces less......you
have a large volume car so you need all the help you can get.......so why
scarifies capacity.......
