When AWE was working on their high horsepower turbo kits for the 997TT, they ran into a bit of a snag with intake air temperatures. It turned out that the stock intercoolers were pretty much the same as what you’d find in the 996TT X50/GT2, which is fine if you’re sticking to around 600hp. But if you’re aiming for over 700hp, that just doesn’t cut it. So, instead of settling for the OEM options that weren’t really up to the task, AWE rolled up their sleeves and designed a whole new intercooler system from scratch.

These intercoolers are no joke. They’re 37% larger than stock, coming in at a hefty 422 cubic inches compared to the 308 cubic inches of the originals. Plus, they feature a high flow bar and plate design that’s tailored to their specific charge row and fin count specs. What does all this mean for you? Well, you can expect a significant drop in intake temperatures—by about 55°F, to be exact. That’s not just a number; it translates to better performance and stability, especially when the outside temps start to climb. And if you’re pushing the limits with your setup, that extra cooling is a lifesaver.

Installation is a breeze too. You won’t have to do any cutting or grinding on your car, which is a huge win. The AWE kit comes with cast end tanks and 6-ply silicone hoses that are designed with gentle curves to avoid bursting under pressure. They’re secured with stainless steel high force t-bolt clamps, and there’s even a molded lip where the hoses connect to the turbos to mimic the factory locking mechanism. Oh, and the hoses are wrapped in Nomex braiding for added strength—much better than the standard polyester you see elsewhere.

Whether you’re just running a software upgrade or planning to swap in some larger turbos, these intercoolers tackle all the heat issues that come with cranking up the boost. Keeping those intake air temperatures down means more power and a safer margin when you’re really pushing your car. Just a heads up: the AWE Performance Intercooler is meant for racing use only.
