install Inter Cooler on 997 Tip
Hi silk,
We have verified that the kit sent is correct. It was ordered through RPM as a 2005 C2S with the Tiptronic transmission.
This kit is much more simple than the manual transmission version as the radiator is already existing. The kit includes special adapters to use your front mounted radiator for both the motor AND intercooler system.
Here are some pictures showing your factory radiator and the fittings that we include for the Tiptronic models in your specific kit.

Looking at the photo - the adaptors only has 1 outlet, so how to connect 2 systems on it ? Can you explain more in detail ?
Thanks !

Have been following this thread for some time now and have to hand it to you, you have completely redefined the term "do it yourself" in my book. Following the install progress was great fun and amazing in its complexity and the ingenuity involved with all the issues you had to address made it all the more intriguing. Many thanks for all the added effort you expended sharing your progress on this site for the rest of us to enjoy.

I had a short vid on you tube but felt it wasn't good!
So I went out and bought a Go-Pro camera yesterday.The thing is awesome and can mount anywhere.
So on the next nice day that I have time I will go to to a road that has NO traffic and take some video for you guys.
Thank-you and GLAD to be here!
Is this comment intended for me,because the guy(blaktout) with the post above actually had his car in a magazine!
If it is for me.....If I have a dollar,I spend it!
You only live once,I have no kids and just enjoy every moment I can!
We don't vacation and like me she loves cars....
Yes my wife is very well taken care of,LOL!
She actually is just like me 'Workaholic"!
I guess that makes us both "freaks"(in a good way),LOL!
Do it....it is one of the most rewarding projects I have done!
Between this and the bodykit I built for the car,I have to say that this car has been my biggest accomplishment to date!
Here are a couple of more pics.

Looks like the parking lights are on to me. I see a red reflection of the tails on the garage door. Definite reflection off of the side markers though.

Sorry should have been more specific. I meant the running lights on the front of the car and not the side markers. The whiter looking bulbs...

Any instruction on which radiator(s) to connect for the inter-cooler? Any issue on over heating or warming up the air ?
Big thanks,
