I am purchasing a supercharger for the S2 finally and I plan on running intercooling along with it.

Can any of you gentlemen please show me where I would mount the factory 951 intercooler?

Do I have to get rid of my airbox to make fit?

Should I go aftermarket intercooler like speed force racing or would the factory intercooler be sufficient?

I will be having custom plumbing going from the intake manifold to the intercooler so no worried there I think. What would I have to look out for when finding a spot for it?

Pics would be appreciated.

Thanks

It goes under the header panel, the thing with the Porsche emblem on it.

Thanks but isn't my airbox in there? I know it is, what about the air box?

The intercooler will fit where your airbox is and you'll have to run a cone filter.

Oh, I was unaware the S2 box was so large...

Hmmmmmm cone filter. blech! Any other possibilities to keep the airbox? I mean the Turbo has an airbox and intercooler in the same spot. They don't run cone filters?

If you are going to be adding a SC you're going to need to repipe the intake anyways so just toss the old filter box, put the IC in there, and use a cone filter or build a new air box.

Run a 951 style intercooler, and from the throttle body, run a semi-large radius 90deg bend going to a cone filter behind the driver's side headlight, similar to what this guy did.

^^^Ah, yeah I saw Lindsey racing makes a pretty sweet fiberglass seperator for that cone filter. Should keep temp cool as it has a rubber gasket sealing it from the engine bay. Nice guys thanks

Most cars will only see temps a few degrees warmer than ambient above 30mph. Idling around town, will be hotter, but then you're not under boost then.
