AWE Tuning 997TT/GT2 Performance Intercoolers - Black Hoses
Group AWE-997gt2intercoolers Description
Due to the relatively high boost that the GT2 runs in stock trim, and also due to the fact that it uses the same intercoolers as the 997TT, it was not a big surprise to us that they quickly became the weak link when modifying.
As with all our intercoolers, a cast end tank was designed in house using sophisticated CAD (Computer Aided Design) and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) software. Once the end tanks were cast by the foundry, they were then machined on our CNC mill, welded to specially designed cores, and then power tested and refined on our chassis dynamometer.
Compared to stock, our cores are 37% larger (422 cubic inches vs 308 cubic inches). In contrast to the stock cores, ours are a high flow bar and plate style and are built to our charge row and fin count specs. These specifications resulted in improved intake temperatures by a massive 55F and improved drop pressure resistance through the core by 1 psi. Considering that extremely little trimming is involved to fit such effective units to the car, this is a huge engineering feat.
Unique Highlights of our kit design:
- Efficient bar/plate core style
- Cast and machined end tanks for optimized air flow
- Thick silicone boost hoses with proper profile where they mate to turbo
- T-bolt clamps for extreme clamping force
- Direct plug and play install that is easily reversible
- +20 crank hp dyno verified
In addition to the superior core and end tank design, our kit also features 6-ply silicone hoses with gentle curves to prevent bursting under pressure. They are attached to the intake and turbos by stainless steel high force t-bolt clamps, and a molded lip is integrated where the hoses meet the turbos to imitate the factory locking mechanism. Further, our hoses use a Nomex braiding for superior strength, instead of more common polyester. The very best materials and industry leading engineering separate this kit from all others on the market.
Whether you are simply running enhanced software, or are planning on a larger turbo upgrade for your car, our intercoolers solve all heat related issues that come with more turbo boost. Keeping your intake air temperatures low results in more power, better engine output stability when outside temps climb, and the safety margin needed when pushing the limit.
Please note, AWE Tuning Performance Intercoolers are for racing use only.

Below: Comparing all AWE parts individually on G.I.A.C. software. Our headers added 9whp/12wtq vs G.I.A.C. + muffler (10 crank hp/ 13 crank tq) Our headers and intercoolers added 29whp/22wtq vs G.I.A.C. + muffler (32 crank hp/ 24 crank tq)
Data was collected on our Mustang MD-AWD-500-SE AWD dynamometerand on the street, using dual Omega DPi temperature meters outputting to the dyno's integrated data acquisition, and via a portable lab grade datalogger. Several runs were made recording temperatures and pressures before and after the stock and AWE Tuning intercooler assemblies and then averaged, with graphs of the changes shown below. All tests were done on a 2008 Porsche GT2. 93 octane fuel was used for all tests.
Below: Temperature drop is the measurement of how much heat the intercooler is able to remove from the intake air. The higher the temperature drop, the denser the air charge, resulting in more power and less tendency for detonation in the cylinders. The first graph shows the behavior of the stock intercoolers. The second graph shows the behavior of the AWE Tuning intercoolers. Our design was able to hold intake air temperatures to a maximum of just 13F higher than the start of the run vs a 32F climb with the stock intercoolers.

AWE Tuning Exhaust had its start in 1991 and has the facilities needed to do everything in house assuring you of a first rate product. Their unique products like the SWITCHPATH AWE Exhaust System for your Porsche is designed to direct exhaust gasses away from the side mufflers giving you that impressive AWE exhaust touring tone only slightly louder and then with the “SWITCHPATH” valve open your exhaust gasses are directed away from the side muffler and you get that more aggressive sound.
