Ac Compressor failure
i have a problem and was hoping you all can shed some light on the situation and help me with this here’s. i’ve gone through 2 AC compressors in less than 15k miles on my evo. First of all i have bought new ones each time from the dealer, not refurbished, and every time i replaced it i had it professionally vacuumed out and filled to the correct pressure by a certified reputable shop. I had the lines cleaned and have done everything correctly. The ac compressor is only failing under full throttle runs at high RPMS. The pulley locks up and breaks the accessory belt. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. Oh and btw i live in the Caribbean so i NEED AC!......... is the some upgraded pulley or something that would solve this problem

Are you on a circle track? Otherwise, why full throttle high rpm? If you are using A/C for drag racing you are giving up 25 hp.
