Description
Presenting the AWE Porsche 997.2TT Performance Intercooler Kit. Cast End Tanks. Drop in Intake Air Temperature. Backed by AWE R&D. If you're serious about consistent and proven power, read on. Behind the scenes: During development of AWE’s (now discontinued) 750R Turbo Kit for the 997.2TT, we experienced excessively high intake air temperatures. Since an OEM option was not available, and our power goals were well north of 700hp, we undertook the task to construct a completely new intercooler system. Once the end tanks were designed, then cast, they were then machined on our CNC mill, welded to specially designed cores, power tested, and refined on our AWD dyno. Size Matters: Compared to stock, the AWE Porsche 997.2TT Performance Intercoolers’ cores are 37% larger (422 cubic inches vs 308 cubic inches). In contrast to the stock cores, AWE Porsche 997.2TT Performance Intercoolers are a high flow bar and plate style and are built to our charge row and fin count specs. These specifications resulted in improved intake temperatures and improved drop pressure resistance through the core. Considering that extremely little trimming is involved to fit such effective units to the car, this is a huge engineering feat. In addition to the superior core and end tank design, the AWE Porsche 997.2TT Performance Intercooler kit also features 6-ply silicone hoses with gentle curves to prevent bursting under pressure. They are attached to the intake and turbos with stainless steel high force t-bolt clamps, and a molded lip is integrated where the hoses meet the turbos to imitate the factory locking mechanism. Further, our hoses use a Nomex braiding for superior strength, instead of more common polyester. The very best materials and industry leading engineering separate this kit from all others on the market.
