Have any of you guys checked the condition of the condenser coils to make sure that they are clean, there may be dirt on them causing a bad heat exchange, it does not take a lot of dirt to mess up an AC condenser from working to max capacity on a very hot and humid day.
I would also check the intercooler to make sure that it is clean as well.
Oil temps and high water temps in the car have no effect on the A/C system unless the cars ECU turns off the AC compressor as a way of stoping the heat transfer from the condenser to affect the temp of the air going into the rad.
