Do I really need to upgrade intercoolers with 997.2?
I am trying to run the COBB Stage 3 map. Do I really need upgraded intercoolers to run it? I heard that the 997.2 IC's were amazing, and just as good or maybe even better.
Edit: I have a 997.2 Turbo S already
Stage 3

OP, what did you end up doing here???
The stg. 3 tune couldn't be run on my car (seemed to run like crap) without the 3bar MAP sensor. Did you ever try it?

I was able to end up running the stage 3 OTS tune and the 100 octane tune after installing 3 bars sensors...Never ran great, but then Sam was able to make me a Custom Stage 2.5 tune that ended up running really well.
3 bar Maps allowed for more options for sure. Even with stock I.C.'s. (for short burst)
