Default "Air duct" replacement
Noticed this today when I had the intercooler off to replace the K&N air filter that the previous owner installed:



Can anyone tell me what this piece does and if 993-106-403-00-M100 is the correct part # for a '97 993 Turbo. Also any guides to removing/replacing this part?

Thanks in advance...

Very common failure on the 993. About $45 and not too long to replace.

Thanks for the help guys.

I got it off(really easy thought it was bigger than it is) and
#993 106 403 00 "air duct" for Model M64.21/22 & M64.23/24

Is the correct part for my '97 TT

I don't know for certain, but my guess would be a combo of age/dryrot. The intercooler seems bolted in too well to flex under driving or boost so I don't think that would have caused it.
