when you moving here Chris? cant wait to go for a ride in this thing!!!

 

Leave the TT intake it's much better then the GT2

 

Actually, I think its the 997T, what do you think of that vs 996T? I have read and am told it doesn't have the mid range dip and is quite a bit more efficient across the rpm.

 

Champion intake seems the best so far...

 

I've read quite a few stories this summer of coolant hose failures, but also the adapters that are epoxied in, these failures can spray coolant over onto the rear tires, something I'd like to avoid at 100mph+.

I bought a set of weld in coolant adapters (9 pieces?) from AWD motorsports, they were packed and shipped as fast as I could pay for them, the timing of this was perfect as another couple days and Todd and Cyn would have to disassemble part of the motor to weld these in. I also replaced the 10+ year old factory coolant hoses.

Here are the epoxied factory pieces....


Here are the some of the welded pieces...

 

997tt intake is better than the 996tt or 997GT2

 

Thanks, I confirmed that's what will be installed.

 

997tt intake manifold is way to go!!!

Here is built 3.8l with 997tt manifold on 997 GT2 with Nitto tires...It kicks damn HARD!!!!
