In 5 examples I've done, 3 with the complete process you describe above, R134a gives you less cooling, and does it slower than R12 or Freeze12. I currently have a W123 with Envirosafe, but it does not appear any better than Freeze12.
Also, working up to 95 degrees still doesn't cut it here. 104 today!!!!

I do commend you on your quality of work, and I'm glad it is working well for you. Very nice job. Just watch that rogue T.......

Thanks for the interest and comments on my description!
Since I'm from northern Germany and not used to the heat so much I should be more sensitive... however my AC with R134 works well enough. (even my car beeing a Touring or like Americans say a wagon - the AC has much more space to cool!!)
I also have a 2005 Honda and the AC output is not much cooler. The only difference is really at idle and distribution of cool air to the back seat, that is much better in modern cars like my Honda.

I'm not clear about your "T" thing.
