I Have sourced the correct parts for UAOS coolant by-pass. Installing this along with UAOS will even further the reliability of the 996 by eliminating more failure points.. This is available as a kit from the website .............. ( www.ultimateaos.com) and will be included on all UAOS kits for 996 after 4/11/2021

Although I do have another Invention I have been working on a for a few months to solve another long standing 996 issue, can't talk about it yet though..

Skip, great to hear there is more cooking in the kitchen for us! I got my kit recently - thank you!
Seeing the coolant bypass I'm definitely intrigued and may want to implement this as I'll be installing the kit soon. It seems to simplify the system and removes a chance of coolant leaks there. Had one question - I suppose Porsche implemented a cooling system on the AOS for a reason. Would removing it cause any potential issues when running the car hard in the midst of the summer with high humidity? I'm sure you thought of it but I'd like to understand this more. Thanks!

plpete84 - it wasn't for cooling the AOS - on the 911 - it was for HEATING the AOS. Water vapor that is sucked from the engine case, when in freezing temperatures could freeze in the AOS, preventing it from working. The coolant thru the AOS was used for de-icing. If I recall correctly, the Boxster did not have coolant flow thru the AOS, as the placement in the Boxster prevented icing without the warmth of the coolant.

plpete84 no worries in hot weather, or even in cold weather when the UAOS is used, the high velocity pressure drop is moved to near the throttle body, a nice warm spot.

Cool - thanks for the correction! I'll see if I can eliminate those parts during the install.
It seems like you're essentially plugging the 2 ports on the top of the sealed AOS unit and then 2 more, end of #12 hose and #20 elbow piece, right past that plastic junction that likes to break. Count that as another weak point being eliminated.

I just talked with my indy about installing the UAOS in a few months along with replacing all injectors on my 996 4s. I will wait until after 4/11 and order the newest kit. I assume it comes with all the necessary instructions for him to follow? He hadn't heard about your invention and works on almost nothing but Porsches.
Thanks

Yes comes with instructions for the UAOS install.
What is significant about 4/11 ? It's my birthday !!! I am putting the "coolant by-pass kit" in all the ones I am currently building ,but have some already "boxed" that will have to be "re-boxed" and don't like to be put under the gun..

Two of them are high temperature and not cheap. Don't think the hardware store will have them.
