I put in one of those over half a year ago, together with an ITG reusable sports filter since the paper filter needed replacing anyway. It is a tight fit between the radiator and the grille, but so far so good. The car just feels a bit more responsive, but nothing major. Just like the standard driving mode has moved a bit towards 'sport button mode' if you know what I mean.
As to AC: I would be very hesitant to just refill a system. R134 is not supposed to escape, so low refrigrerant inevitably means there is a leak, albeit small.
Most AC shops around here offer a service to evacuate the system, put it under vacuum for 30 minutes or so and then put the refrigerant back. They charge some $30 -$40 for that, but it gives you the peace of mind.
The AC is charged on weight (some 900 grams if i remember correctly), not on pressure.
Good luck,
Jan Geert
