Stephen - so you're saying that the factory TT may have had air-to-water intercoolers, rather than air-to-air intercoolers?

so there is hope!!!

WHO is going to make a kit?

i feel a "group purchase" comming

They could have, but I would imagine they were air to air. I just wanted to lead you guys in my thought process and allow the possibilities to be seen. If it was a 996 I would say more than likely it was water/air, but in the 993 application one would assume that it would be air to air. Who really knows. I would love to see the set up. I can think of a few places that you could put a couple of intercoolers. Does anyone know if it had a standard turbo body?

Oh sure there is hope. A couple of cores isn't THAT bad. I would suggest the water to air route. A supply tank wouldn't have to be very big and really could be put anywhere. Not sure if anyone would want to pay for the fab time though.

A company in the UK has supplied a supercharges 964 owner with water/air charge cooling. They place a cooler in the front left fender (just like th oil cooler in the front right) and run the plunbing back to the intercooler in the engine bay. I don't think a rear fender mounted cooler would be a big deal - BUT it would ake some design , good plumbing and lots of cutting of metal to route the pipework.

Just my 0.02.

<strong>At sears point and at California Speedway this year I saw a 993 Ruf turbo which did not have the intercoolers under the rear lid. It did have a big wing but that was for downforce. The intercoolers (2) were mounted in the fender taking air in from each side. It was quite nicely done as you could actually see the entire engine in the compartment. Nice, cool fresh air as well. Very fast car especially at the California speedway with the long straights!</strong><hr></blockquote>

Kary,
Is this the car?
Here is a complete page of all the pics. Thanks EJ.

Look at the rear of a 959 - the intercoolers are located in the rear fenders.

Not the same, I know, but not too dissimilar either.

That would be one helluva special wish - "add twin turbo, partially water cooled 959 engine and drivetrain please and delete TT spoiler..."

Gemballa's twin-turbo conversions for the 993 can be had with air/air or water/air intercoolers, the water/air options give either 450 or 500HP without a tail. They offer up to 600HP with the air/air intercooler version (which requires a tail).

STOP showing pictures like that. You have no idea what kind of problems you are creating on this end of the keyboard. AHHH my head <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />
