Product Description

The Alpha Performance Intercooler System from AMS Performance is a high-capacity, performance-oriented upgrade for the Porsche 997.1 Turbo / Turbo S (2006–2009) that dramatically improves charge cooling over the restrictive stock intercoolers. Using an aggressive pair of 5.5″ thick, high-volume intercooler cores with optimized fin density, this system sustains lower intake air temperatures under hard driving, improving power, torque, and knock resistance as boost and engine output rise. Precision molded carbon fiber intercooler shrouds retain the factory ducting and force cold ambient air through the larger cores, maximizing cooling efficiency without cutting or modifying OEM ducts. A large carbon fiber Y-pipe and custom silicone couplers promote smoother airflow to the throttle bodies, reducing pressure drop for faster boost response. Engineered with fitment and cooling performance in mind, this intercooler system supports both stock and highly modified 997.1 Turbo builds.

Fitment Notes

  • Designed specifically for Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S (997.1; 2006–2009) models

  • Works with stock framed turbos (Alpha Performance turbo options also supported)

  • Utilizes stock intercooler inlet locations and retains OEM ducting for optimized airflow

  • Not currently CARB/EPA emissions certified for vehicles in some emissions-controlled regions without appropriate paperwork

Included

  • Pair of 5.5″ thick high-volume intercooler cores with smooth cast end tanks

  • Carbon fiber intercooler shrouds for each core

  • High-volume carbon fiber Y-pipe for superior airflow

  • Custom 4-ply silicone couplers engineered for minimal turbulence

  • Premium stainless-steel hose clamps

  • All necessary hardware for complete installation

Product Specs

  • Intercooler core thickness: 5.5″ high-volume design for maximized surface area

  • Approx. 800 CFM airflow per core with optimum fin density

  • Heat exchanger surface area: ~631 cu in per core

  • Carbon fiber shrouds designed to mate to stock intercooler ducts

  • Carbon fiber Y-pipe with ~2.5″ diameter flow path (significantly larger than stock ~1.79″)

  • 4-ply silicone couplers sized for performance airflow and pressure handling

  • Weight: ~49 lbs (system)

Product Features

  • Largest intercoolers available: Extremely thick cores with high fin density improve charge cooling potential far beyond stock limitations.

  • Smooth flow end tanks: CFD-inspired cast end tanks reduce turbulence and resistance for more efficient heat exchange.

  • OEM-style airflow integration: Carbon fiber shrouds maintain factory ducting without cutting, ensuring cooler ambient air delivery to the cores.

  • Boost response enhancement: Large carbon Y-pipe and optimized couplers reduce pressure drop and support quicker spool and midrange torque.

  • Supports staged builds: Maintains cooling efficiency as supporting upgrades (turbo, tune, fuel system) increase power output.

  • Durable, high-quality materials: Carbon fiber and premium silicone ensure long service life under high temperature and pressure conditions.
