3rd radiator on 997.2 GTS
Anyone installed a 3rd radiator on a GTS or aerokit?
Suncoast says additional parts may be required, but when I called they weren’t sure what I was talking about...ordered the radiator, I just don’t want to get halfway into the install & not have what I need.

Thanks

I installed the 3rd radiator on my 2012 Carrera S using the following parts. MUCH CHEAPER than the kit from Suncoast and exactly the same parts. I have a 2011 GTS and this would work on it as well.
For the 997.2 you need this in addition to the radiator kit:
AIR ROUTING 997-575-141-07 $139.80
RADIATOR 99704410005 (The Kit) $173.22

May want to search "997 radiator add-on" on ebay. Hoses/radiator are the same between 997 and 997.2 from what I can tell, its just the ducting. I picked mine up in the $200 area

Unless you race it on a regular basis, I wouldn't bother. The stock system is fine.

I got a kit for my 997.1 S for $180.

I thought all GTS came with 3rd radiator. This is the first I've heard of anyone with a GTS asking about this mod or wanting to do it. Mine came with a 3rd radiator.

Ah, yes, PDK!!
BTW, a definite plus on that 3d radiator. Three of us regularly go out together, my GTS, a PDK C4s, and a manual C4S. I constantly run 30-40 deg cooler when we're running hard.

As y'all know, there's two separate 3rd radiator kits for the .1 and .2 Carrera models. Here's some photos from ECS as an example...
997.1 Carrera models ($202) - https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...n/99704410005/
997.2 Carrera models ($885) - https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...710603702kt10/
Some parts (e.g. the radiator) is the same in both kits. But the ducts are different.
997.1 center air duct ($100) - https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...t/99757514102/
997.2 center air duct ($187) - https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...t/99757514107/
However, that doesn't explain the $600+ price delta between the kits.
I'm a bit mystified...
