997 Turbo intake manifold into 996 Turbo

Hello,

Have somebody ever tried it?

997 turbo manifolds has better design than 996 Turbo.

I`m interesing how look installation? It`s bolt on modification?

Any dyno test?

Thanks

I think Switzer might have done something like this?

Its not an easy Bolt on at all. There are a bunch of sensors that need to get remounted as the 997 manifolds do not have provisions for them as the 996 do.
I have been toying with it..

Thanks,

what about injectors fitting? 996 injectors fits bolt on inside 997 manifold?
Or modify injectors seats are necessary?

they fit but you need to customize a hold down or they will pop right out under load

I think the problem with modifying the 997 intake to fit the 996 will be its construction. If I am not mistaken it is made of plastic which could lead to problems when modifying it to fit?
Good luck

996tt has injector manifold. 997tt has direct injectors in the head.

Not impossible, but extremely expensive.

Rob Your correct. They bolt up but there is a bunch of fab work involved.
Sorry guys no pictures but if you ask Todd at Proto he may have. It not an easy bolt up and no BIG power gains

We are talking about 07-09 997 TT parts correct?

2010 is a whole different beast and comes with direct injection.
