Help where to buy 997.2 (gt2rs) IC's?

Hi,

I am looking to buy a set of gt2 IC's for my turbo, I can't find any links to where to get them anymore, where does one buy (online) oem parts at a great price?

I will be in NH and MA first week of Nov and hope to have them delivered before that.

My understanding is that the ICs are a direct replacement other than the ducting not fitting 100% correctly (requires zip ties). But that can be solved with 997.2 ducting so that it is 100% fitment.

Its not the charge air piping that needs changing, its the air ducts for the ambient cooling that requires minor trimming since the .2 cores are thicker, I think at least...

Nice mod even for the 996tt crowd. My car was much happier at the track with these. You get to keep your power!

The cores are thicker so you need to trim the upper duct. The last time I checked the 997.2 ducts were around ~$700. Probably because it is classified as a crash part, so they charge a mint for it because insurance will pay it. It is much more economical to modify the ducts for the intercoolers. If you ever decide to sell them you can probably trade someone for their stock ducting. You don't need to change any of the piping, it all connects right up.

Wow, didn't realize they were that expensive. Guess I could live with some trimming.

Maybe someone has a better line on them, it would be VERY nice to not have to do any cutting.

Hoses (4) are the same. You need to have your mechanic adjust the "saddles" for the intercoolers. I bought a new set of silicone holes for mine. Its a mind game thing.
