what is BEST intercooler for my application
for a 991.2 turbo S in which I am NOT planning to upgrade my turbos ever, dont track my car, and plan to do exhaust ipd set and tune only
live in S Fla.
looking at specifically ones where NO modification to the car is needed for fitment
champion
By Design
AMS
and why? Being whichever tune I go with I do not want the IC's to be a limited factor I want my set up, ALL stock sans exhaust WITH 50 CEL cats, IPD plenum and y pipe, and the IC's I choose so im limited by OTHER factors before the After market IC's would come into play 4.5 or 5.1, champions, or AMS
OR are they all about the same and therefore go with which ever one I can get for the least amount of money
sorry to be redundant but trying to get a str8 technical answer without beating the dead horse about who is great to deal with.
Whomever I deal with I will have an understanding and trusted relationship as ive been around long enough and know the people in the game.

Kline inconel exhaust and headers
IPD Y pipe and plenum
intercoolers
air filler
cobb tune
Everything was installed by a porsche gold tech. The tech was very impressed with the quality of all the aforementioned parts.
I have purchased everything from Sam. This is based on the quality of the products including his inter coolers. Just as important, is the customer service that Sam provides, which is simply unmatched. This made my decision very easy. Big investment for me, which needs the right people standing behind their products both at time of sale and after.
BTW this car is an absolute beast that maintains its daily drivability.

Well Champion is in your backyard. At least you have someone local who resolve any issues, if you have any.
I'm taking my TTS Florida soon. I can't seem to find that adding intercoolers add nothing more than lower input temps.
All the charts I've seen include a tune/headers/intercoolers. Is it worth is just to lower input temps. I thought about
changing out all 3 radiators with CSF units.Be interesting to see how your car changes after the new intercoolers.

I sent my car to Cali from PA because that way I could get COBB before it was released, now would I send my car 5000 miles again if I had it to do over, IN A SECOND, but you have Champion close to you, that is who I would use for install with parts for Sam, COBB from Sam.

I strongly recommend the 5 inch Garrett Honeywell cores. AMS welds there end tanks on the 5 inch Garret cores.. I am testing a set that I have built right now.
