Thanks.

EDIT: Could you PM me pricing? I'm very interested. I've been holding off on Intercooler Kit for my car.
The silicone in question is for the diverter valves found on 997.2 , but not on 997.1 models.

The Alpha intercooler package is $4495.95.

please let me know if you have any further questions

larry@amsperformance.com

One question though Larry,

My car has stock intercoolers, but we recently installed Champion's intercoolers on a friend's 997.2 Turbo S. I'm guessing these silicone couplers replace the rubber hose that goes to the diverter valves? Because I don't remember seeing anything like this on his hoses.

Thank you! Just trying to clear up my mind on this.

Also, shipping now?

I believe Champions uses the factory Y and our kit includes a cast Y.

They are in stock and ready to ship.

The Y Pipe will work without any issues with an IPD Plenum?

We have not tested with an IPD plenum. I believe the IPD plenum keeps the TB in the stock location which shouldn't cause any issues with our intercooler kit and Y.

We're sorry, but we don't offer any color options for the silicone.

Looks very impressive. 24 fins per inch is too. What is the weight of each IC?

With that kind of IAT reduction on the dyno, which will usually read higher than actual street testing, I think it is safe to assume that real world IAT reduction will be even better.

Nice product!

I thought the same thing until i started logging on the street/track. Unfortunately I've found dynos tell very little about intercooler performance which is why I'm eager to see logs in a relevant environment. Im sure they'll do fine though.

I'm surprised to hear that. The dyno facility lacks the air flow as seen on the road even though we have a great fan setup to simulate driving. The air flow across the intercoolers seen on the road at speed would surely offer greater cooling compared to fans on the dyno.

Hello Larry,


I am ready now for intercooler upgrade. Just quick questions.


1. Have the Softronic tune with EP Exhaust and IPD plenum, Any changes need to be made?
2. Does the kit bring everything needed for the install?


Thanks
Jay
