AC Pressures after Condensor replaced

Hi

It's been a long weekend with my 2008 Prius (100K miles). Water pump then condenser.
I had planed on replacing the water pump since I noticed allot of pink residue
on the internal pulley surface

On Friday on the way home on the freeway the SUV in front of me threw up a retread
and it hit the lower center grill and punched a hole in the Condenser. At least I could drive
home It was 108 here in Arizona.

I got the Condenser from my local AZ.
Got the ND-11 from Napa.
Rented the vacumn pump from Az.

Got the condenser out but rounded one of the 10mm bolts with washer fixed to the bolt. I tried a punch
Vice grips but ended up grinding it off. Lesson learned . Use hex sockets not the other ones with many notches

Got it all back together. Evacuated the system added about 1.5oz of ND-11 in the Yellow but in purging
the air out lost some of the oil. Added 12oz of R134. I have a Chiltons manual and it says 14 oz is the spec
Is this correct

The inside ventsare reading 45 def F. The pressures on the manifold were 35lbs low side and 170lbs high side. Ambient temperature in the garage was about 98deg F
Not sure how accurate the guages are. 10 years old. Do these Pressures sound correct?

I thought about it but I have a $500.00 deductable and the SUV was long gone before I knew I had an Issue.

Thanks

 

Hi Yes PSI for sure.

Thanks for the links. I'll get a look.

Looks Like Low Side Range 22-37 PSI
High Side Range 200-228 PSI

I'll get a look at the site glass tomorrow.

UPDATE

Calibrated guages and now get 37 psi low side and 220 psi on the high side

Also thru thesight glass I do see allot of foam while the compressor is on and after I turn
it off some foam that stops after 30 seconds or so.
