My 13 was cool but not cold. I insulated the big line from the firewall to the compressor with some premium pipe insulation and i noticed a big difference. The insulation i used it more like neoprene not foam.

Ok! That's easy.

I did mine with regular foam type pipe insulation and it worked well. But neoprene would be be better as I assume it is denser.

Some of us are getting the HVAC type of insulation which is a little more cost, mine was $6. It's makes for better install and in IMHO better insulation.

the neoprene type? most likely then, i just got the reggie ... foam dont see how the install is different. they do the same job, keep the pipe from sweating
