This will bolt right up, and the hoses will fit properly. This kit is everything you need in one simple package. The Tiptronic equipped cars have small cutouts at the back of the bumper to allow air to flow through. To optimize the system, you will need to cut similar holes in the front undertray.

Thank you, you are always very helpful! I actually purchased everything in the diagram in the original post, including the hoses. I am mounting an OEM 997.2 GT3 Cup front, so I wanted it the radiator/ducts to fit properly, as well as direct the airflow to the upper vent. everything bolted up perfectly, and is in perfect working order, with the exception of that little adapter piece (#12 in the diagram). leaving that piece out has not seemed to make a difference so far, as the temperature stays rock steady.

ECS Tuning - Porsche has a reputation beyond repute

I was unaware that you were converting to the GT3 Cup bumper. You need to post pictures as soon as physically possible!
