Prospeeder, thank you for all your help and detailed info. Thank you to everyone else for your responses and input. Looks like I'm left with having to replace the compressor. I see on the ecs tuning site they have the oem and mahle-behr aftermarket compressor. The mahle-behr is literally less than half the price of the oem. I try to only use oem, but that mahle-behr price point is way more attractive. Any suggestions or comments? Has anyone replaced the compressor themselves? Kind of afraid that the air temp won't ever be as cold after the swap, but I guess I need to swap it regardless. Thanks again!

What parts do I need?
Ok, so I'll order the new compressor, but what other parts should be replaced as well? Receiver/Dryer, seals, o-rings, etc? Sorry for all the questions, but I want to tackle this at home and definitely want to have everything in order.

Done...
So I swapped out the compressor, dryer, and orifice tube. Flushed all the lines, replaced o-rings, and vacuumed the system. Recharged with 530g of r134 and is blowing ice cold now. Thanks again everyone for all the help and suggestions!
