EDIT: After reading your post for a 20th time I think you're saying that it disconnects at WOT and at smaller throttle openings. That sounds like a great feature to me. I always turn it off in my other vehicles when going up a hill or anticipating acceleration.

Can you clarify this? Did you mean the opposite? What would make sense is the compressor disconnecting* during WOT, or even above some throttle percentage like 75%.

*A/C compressors usually have an electric clutch to engage or disengage from a pulley that is always being spun by a belt.
