So is it stock or a stock replacement with the new design? The type of condenser makes a world of difference, I used the stock one when I fixed mine because I was tight on money at the time but I should have just waited and bought the parallel flow one. I'm running R152a in my truck and it does really well even with the old condenser. It's one of the refrigerants that may get used when R134a gets banned in the next few years, and you can get it at Walmart for $4.97 per 12oz can. They use it in keyboard dusters and it is actually more efficient than R134a. Here's the condenser I was planning on using: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-UNIVERSA...ab4f4a&vxp=mtr
And what the R152a comes in: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ultra-Dust...igger/16630941
I do have to mention that is it slightly "flammable" under curtain circumstances, it will light with an open flame but it wont support a flame.
