Installing the Wagner IC's is easy all you need to do is remove the bumper, rear wheel arches wheels and unbolt the ICs. Then mount your new intercoolers to the OEM hangers, fit the carbon shrouds, and refit the hangers ICs and shrouds all at once. Then re-fit your bumper arches wheels and your done.
I have a little bit of a different set up but from the following pics you will see what I mean, fitting these ICs is much simpler than fitting 3.5" IC's or any other IC that requires any cutting or or trimming of the OEM shrouds.
ICs and shrouds have arrived
Remove Bumper, Rear Wheels, Air Box etc.
Remove old IC's including hangers and shrouds from the car. 4 bolts
At this point I decided to wrap the exhaust and cats closest to the IC's if this makes any difference I'm not sure but I already have Turbo Blankets so thought it may as well continue. Not sure if the Turbo Blankets made any difference either I'll probably do another layer of the wrap at some stage.
Fitted some new Forge DV's using yellow springs
Blew a water hose while logging with my old Wagner 3.5" IC's so had to fix that too. If you do this make sure you use your original clips the new clips supplied by Porsche are too thick and dont fit correctly and you blow another hose out. I know because it just happened to me when I was in the middle of nowhere logging.
Reading the instructions that come with the coolers.
Fitting Carbon Shrouds to the coolers.
Fitting the Coolers and Shrouds to the Hangers.
Fitting Coolers Shrouds and Hangers to the car. I found it easiest to hang the whole lot from the upside down bolt in the first pic before guiding the rest into place. Make sure you guide the hanger into the slot as shown on the 3rd pic.
This pic is of the top carbon shroud fitting into the cars permanent ducting.
IC's and shrouds installed before installing the bumper.
Bumper almost fully Installed
As far as Im concerned these IC'S are fantastic my 996T has had a significant power boost without a retune.
A Re-map is next, followed by fitting high flow 7" fans to the bottom of the coolers mainly to help in the hot Australian Summer.
Test fitted one of my evo2 IC's yesterday and noticed a problem.
With IC fitted onto the hanger, I couldnt get the hanger to line up with the bolts..
Had a closer look at the pics in this thread and noticed how the hangers look different to mine. Or modified..
Any modification needed to the 996tt hangers?
Circled in red, this section of the hanger looks different than my hanger. Like there is an additional hole in the the hanger that sits lower.. From another angle, I dont have this additional hole in the hanger. This is how my hanger looks. Notice how I dont have that additional hole where the IC is mounted in the pics above
So can someone please confirm if they have that additional hole on their hangers? Or that is a customized part?
Or maybe because mine is a really early 2000 996tt the hangers are different..
Looking at PET, located the hangers, and that second hole is clearly seen.
So I guess this is how the hangers now look like, and only the really early cars have a different hanger..
