CSF was the first company to release a High-Performance Intercooler for the Porsche 992 911 Turbo & Turbo S back in 2021. Since then, the CSF #8188 has established itself as the benchmark intercooler for the 992 Turbo/S used in the highest horsepower builds in the world. CSF is continually expanding coverage of its industry-leading Porsche cooling lineup. Working with industry partners, CSF was the first to learn the Turbo/S High-Performance Intercooler System fits the 2025+ Porsche 992.2 Carrera models equipped with the 3.0L Turbo Engine (non-Hybrid).

Developed with strategic manufacturing partner PWR and tested under the most demanding motorsport conditions, this Billet Intercooler is the ultimate upgrade for 992 911 Turbo/S & 992.2 3.0T owners looking to maximize performance.

Design & Engineering
With increased power, also comes higher levels of heat generated by the engine system. This is why an upgraded intercooler system is especially important in a turbo application. The new CSF 992 Turbo/S Intercooler System is a "must have" bolt-on modification, considering placement of the intercooler system on top of the engine.

CSF designed and engineered the intercooler to be a true Plug-and-Play "Drop-in Fit" unit. Utilizing all factory mounting points and ducting, the installation is simple and straightforward.

The most important feature of the CSF by PWR Intercooler System is the Formula-1 grade intercooler core. CSF's strategic relationship with PWR has allowed the inclusion of this core, which is unlike any other available in the performance aftermarket.

The intercooler system was originally developed for the Porsche 992 Turbo/S and has been proven on builds making over 1600WHP. The PWR cores eliminate heat soak and lower Intake Air Temperatures (IATs) much more efficiently than traditional Bar & Plate or Tube & Fin designs. These traditional intercooler cores are typically much heavier and/or larger to improve cooling capacity. Because the PWR core is able to achieve greater performance results in a smaller size, CSF was able to design the intercooler system to fit in the stock location using all the OEM hardware, ducts, and shrouds for an easy drop if fit installation.

CSF by PWR Intercooler Core

Like most turbocharged vehicles, the Twin Turbo engines powering the 992 Turbo/S & 992.2 experience high levels of heat soak and progressively increasing IATs even in modestly spirited driving conditions. This results in the ECU pulling engine timing and drastically decreasing power output. The CSF by PWR Intercoolers solve this issue and allow vehicles to perform at optimal levels consistently and for prolonged periods of time.

Test Results
he CSF Intercooler System has undergone rigorous testing and real world validation with leading Porsche builder, tuners, and motorsport teams. Dyno-proven results on Turbo/S applications have shown significant reductions in IATs compared to factory and other aftermarket intercoolers. Companies like Flat 6 Motorsports, ES Motor, GMG Racing, and M-Engineering have all used the CSF system to build everything from 1600+HP roll race monsters to time attack cars. The aftermarket world has definitely proven that the CSF Intercooler is the ultimate 992 cooling solution.

During development, CSF worked with both Jon and Mitch, owners and lead tuners of M-Engineering, to compare the OEM intercoolers vs. CSF's High-Performance Intercooler System on World Motorsports' state-of-the-art wind tunnel dyno.

The CSF intercooler system has proven to be much more efficient throughout the entire rev range, particularly at very high intercooler inlet temperatures (start of the run).

The CSF intercooler system side-by-side comparison to the OEM, shows better results in intake air temperature (IATs) and intercooler efficiency, all while being tested in hotter conditions.

Due to the larger and more efficient cores, the CSF intercooler system displayed a slightly higher level of pressure drop with a range of .5 to 1 psi more than the OEM system throughout the dyno test. This is generally to be expected with more surface area and more drag. Tuning can compensate for this slight change in pressure drop as well as provide maximum performance output. Increased boost pressure is the best way to take advantage of increased efficiency that the CSF by PWR High-Performance Intercooler System provides.

CNC Machined Billet End Tanks
As with CSF's other products produced through our PWR partnership, this Intercooler system features 100% TIG-welded machined billet aluminum end tanks. This is a very significant upgrade compared to the OEM crimped plastic composite end tanks.

1/8 NPT Ports
In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, the increased strength improves longevity and durability on high-performance vehicles. OEM plastic/composite end tanks have been known to crack under heavy boost pressure. The CNC machined billet end tanks are ready to withstand increased boost pressures from bolt-on modifications, higher performance tunes, as well as upgraded turbochargers.

After the initial release, CSF added three 1/8 NPT Ports for Methanol Injection, Boost monitoring, Nitrous, etc. This feature was in high demand by builders, tuners, and end users.
