The TTM system for the Sy/Ty uses the stock air/water intercooler as the
"evaporator". (holes sealed up, of course)  There is a catch- it requires
that you pre-cool the compressor outlet air via an external air-air
intercooler. The compressor head pressure climbs to unsafe levels when
300+ degree air meets the freon, so the air-air unit is required to get
the air temp to a level the freon intercooler can tolerate.
