I'm looking for a pair of used x50/gt2 intercoolers as a mild improvement for my 420hp car before I remap.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm looking for a pair of used x50/gt2 intercoolers as a mild improvement for my 420hp car before I remap. I don't think it's really worth going for the larger aftermarket intercoolers at this stage but it would be nice to know my air temperatures are as close as possible to standard.

Ben

Ben,
interesting comments you make on tip ex, I never had a 951 at the 400 plus power level, but enjoyed mildly de-restricted ones.
My SPS BB turbo 951 is a lovely daily driver. Simon never did say what power it has, he was more interested in how it behaved, and thats actually why I bought it.
I have to admit a 3.6tt bug bit me, and I concur the comments you make.
The car is the engine. They are literally cheap as chips considering the engineering, - people spend £50k for wet sump junk 911's and don't realise that the real McCoy is available for half that.
That example in the states where they emptied 10 thousand rounds into a 996 c2 is a demo of what someone who once went out and spent their savings on a Porsche 911 actually thought of it later. You wont see that done to a 996 turbo. They have disposable engines, or they need to go to Hartech or Autofarm and get re-engineered to traditional Porsche standards. I perceive them approx 1970's British Leyland quality.
The 944 has a role as a stunning all-round practical Q car, the 911 996/7tt is the real McCoy if you want a genuinely fast sports car which is'nt afraid of 100k miles.
I think the difference is the 1985 era valve timing technology versus the late 90's vvt, plus 6 speed is an advantage. The two coupled together is where the 996tt really scores
Either way, it costs alot to make a 951 into 996tt beater, and then the 996tt has further potential as you will no doubt discover

Just a note on something you say on that thread. If you switch off PSM it doesn't disable the ABD (automatic brake differential) to help prevent one wheel spinning.
Is that all it is. This just makes me happier and happier. I take it that means they have saved money on an lsd but very glad if that's the only electronic feature that stays on
