I am still on factory ICs on the tts,car is running perfect. no timing pull,no heat soak,even if i do 3 consecutives runs 60-130 is consistent and IAT doesnt exceed 48 degrees celcius in the 3rd run(118 fahrenheit).

I thought the GT2RS intercoolers were an upgrade on the ones used in the base model turbos. At least they're billed as such on parts websites like Suncoast. I wasn't clear on what the turbo S uses. If the S and the GT2RS use the same intercooler then what Longboard is saying is that even Porsche's best intercoolers are inferior to Champions.

I like the BBI custom ones. I have a set of Gt2rs ones for sale (brand new in boxes) since I used theirs.

If you are interested give Omar at Predator a call. I will help him out on pricing for a loyal ALPHA customer

Same ones in my 996 and 997. They custom built both. The 997 makes 740whp an a Mustang dyno (stock rod limited). The 996 made 1311 rwhp on 34psi. Both used same IC they built. Same core. They talked me out of the Gt2rs ones for best efficiency out of my system. You do pay the price for the upgrade though.
