I did talk at length with the Four Seasons Tech Support about replacing condensers, and was told by them that because of the darn near microscopic passages in modern condensers (relative to ones from pre-1990 vehicles) that if a compressor grenades, there is no way one can successfully flush a modern condenser to get the crap out. Hence replacement is best.

Good Luck!
Agreed. Better to chuck it for a new condenser.
