R12 ->R134a retrofitted, but I have a question

[wprice@neo.rr.com (Warren R. Price)]

I bought the same kit from Walmart and did the conversion on my 88 16v.
This was about a month ago.  I had 50+ pounds of pressure and my air is
about 34 degrees.  I also used roughly 2.5 cans.  I know this probably isn't
too helpful to you, other than to say that I had well over 44 pounds and my
air has been cold for a month now.
