I wish to clarify the whole AC compressor turning off/staying on thing. While the AC compressor doesn't actually turn OFF, it DOES lower it's effectiveness considerably due to it being a variable displacement compressor. Variable displacement compressors can go all the way to a nearly zero duty cycle as the rpms climb up. If they didn't, AC pressures would sky rocket and the system will be damaged.

What this means is that the interchiller will still lose some of it's cooling capabilities at WOT. Just not as badly as an older clutch style compressor would.

Either way, they kick ass.
