I once had an Aquamist setup on a supercharged 99 M3 and pretty much hated it. There was always something leaking or not working. The aftermarket air2water intercooler was considerably more reliable. Hopefully Aquamist has improved the system in the 5 years since I had it...

I too had been told not to use it on our motors. Now I'm confused.

Not our first Rodeo......

They have improved dramatically but even 5 yrs ago they worked great. Install error, ****ty tune or a combo of both. Ran these kits for years. Track miles, blackstone oil reports, logging until we are green in the face. This stuff works and its NOT new technology by any means.

I feel like this is for a different post though and we are getting farther off topic. lol Changing the brain washing that has gone on around here is a long term process

I wonder if the rust "issue" might result from the system leaking/dribbling after the motor is off and cooled down. just speculation on my part, NO experience, direct or indirect

lol i don't even know what to say

Sid-- Is this for your already amazing white cab? Would be an amazing modification, especially if you're going for a stealth/ sleeper effect, & keeping the stock, O.E.M. retractable spoiler! Gemballa did this back in the 993 hey-day. I contacted Heinz, IIRC, a couple years back, who said they're focusing on water-cooled 911s now.

If we meet in Monterey next month, I can hook you up with a RLer who personally knows Gemballa's wrench. Not only is that RLer want a stealth turbo installation, but he loves 993 cabs, & is considering a painted center console, like yours. Let's make this happen

Hope you're enjoying a wonderful Indepence Day holiday weekend RLer poorb0yw (Princeton Wong) may be a great one to ask.

More discussion of his custom 993 & stealth intercooler installation on the "Speedster type 993 photo thread"

At the Dana Point Concours, Speedy was placed next to an AZ-owned narrow-body 993 with air:water intercoolers, as well as a twin-turbocharged 'stealthy' installation that retained the O.E.M. movable spoiler.

It was featured in Excellence Magazine's April 2006 issue.

Information on the build can be found on TurboKraft.com: "Mike's 1995 Carrera 2 Twin Turbo "Sleeper"."
I didn't get to meet the 993s' owner, Mike, but the guys there representing Turbo-Kraft seemed great, & passionate about performance Porsche modifications.

The water reservoirs were engineered into the front bumper.

Chris Carroll was VERY helpful when I was considering a stealth install. (Actually, more of my aversion to a whale tale than a need for stealth). Turbo Kraft seems like a great shop. Unfortunately, I have a tip and Steve Weiner said it wouldn't take the turbo. So, back to the modrawing board.

BTW, Jaeger knows all.

Not so fast ^^ I just try to learn from smart enthusiasts.

...Chris Carroll definitely qualifies
