Upon close examination of the stock intercoolers, we found they matched the same specs as the 996TT X50\/GT2 design, which is suitable to 600hp, but not much beyond that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 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. As with all our intercoolers, a cast end tank was designed in house using sophisticated\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0240\/7294\/5728\/files\/AWE_997_996_IC_CAD.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCAD (Computer Aided Design)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0240\/7294\/5728\/files\/AWE_997_996_IC_CFD.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003esoftware.

In contrast to the stock cores, ours 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 by a massive 55F and improved drop pressure resistance through the core by 1 psi.

They are attached to the intake and turbos by 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you are simply running enhanced software, or are planning on a larger turbo upgrade for your car, our intercoolers solve all heat-related issues that come with more turbo boost. Keeping your intake air temperatures low results in more power, better engine output stability when outside temps climb, and the safety margin needed when pushing the limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note, theAWE Tuning Performance Intercooler is for racinguse only.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AWE Tuning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083878940976,"sku":"4510-11046","price":1595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/7582\/4176\/products\/9a64664cb5835390a850ee2c005f477f.jpg?v=1699316367","url":"https:\/\/es-performance.com\/en-us\/products\/awe-performance-intercoolers-porsche-997-turbo-gt2-black-hoses","provider":"Eurosport Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
