I bought mine from rock auto for $180 for driver side. it is not fun to replace but isn't bad. you need a 8mm triple square drive which I didn't have. I loosened the outside door handle to line up the key cylinder lock actuator. it wasn't fun as it is a blind operation but based on the amount of cursing this wasn't too bad.

Rock Auto was the first place I checked, but they didn’t have OEM replacement only Uro brand. I didn’t want to take a chance with after market parts. Glad it worked out for you.

Well, I finally was able to track down the previous owner of my car and ask what mods had been done.

All that I have to say is that I probably need to do intercoolers, and I'm considering going with the Markski 3.5" ones. For those of you with the 997.2 GT2RS IC's, do you find they're efficient enough? I am now certain I have the K16 Billet Package from Markski (Turbos, Injectors, Etc.) but the PO didn't do IC's.

My research and talking with tuners is that they are enough unless you are going for like 650+; the 997GT2RS was rated 691hp from the factory, albeit with other supporting mods, but they were sufficient for that car. With K16 billets I think you will be fine and thats the setup I am going with.

For applications under 700hp, I would do the OEM 7.2ICs over pretty much 90% of the aftermarket offerings....

We'll have a torn CV boot so I did what anyone would do and bought some extra front axles and hacked them for their stubs so I can go RWD. Gonna save my good ones

Are the DO88 intercoolers in that 10%?

This is exactly what I did. However, mine was to reseal the front differential. Once complete, I swapped the front diff and axles with new boots back on. I will keep the stubs for when I do the LSD...

Contact Bell Intercoolers. They built a set for a member on here and may be able to help you. They're the same cores Markski uses and IMO some of the best you can buy for the $$$

No. Not the 996TT versions which appear to use a low grade core which I'm willing to bet is inferior to the OEM 7.2 core. That is why they do not give you a comparison to the 7.2 IC but only the stock 996 IC.

They do sell the 997 "big pack" ICs (see link below) which utilize a UK made motorsport core which looks substantially better, not Marston grade but very good nonetheless. The "big packs" are not going to be a direct bolt on but likely not any more difficult than any of the aftermarket offerings. You will have to modify the ducts. This is what I would use if I was not using the Marston ICs.
