CSF Intercooler System for 992 Porsche 911 Carrera, 4S, S, and T / Targa 4 and Targa 4S / Turbo and Turbo S / Sport Classic [8188]

CSF Intercooler System for 992 Porsche 911 Carrera, 4S, S, and T / Targa 4 and Targa 4S / Turbo and Turbo S / Sport Classic [8188]

CSF’s 992 Intercooler System is developed in partnership with Formula 1 cooling specialist PWR — as the world’s first and only high-performance intercooler upgrade for the Porsche 992. As power increases, so does heat, making an upgraded intercooler essential in turbo applications, particularly given the 992’s top-mounted layout; this bolt-on system addresses charge-air temperatures to sustain performance and reliability. In keeping with the 911’s “everyday supercar” legacy from 996 through 997, 991, and now 992, the CSF solution supports the platform’s ever-expanding capabilities on the street, track, and drag strip. With the 992 serving as one of the world’s most advanced tuning bases — from simple bolt-ons and ECU calibrations to built engines, larger turbos, and standalone management pushing well beyond 1,000 whp — robust intercooling is a foundational upgrade CSF recommends.

How the New Porsche 992 Intercooler System Works

• JCR notes that, unlike previous water-cooled Turbo models that used individual side-mounted intercoolers behind the front-door ducts, the 992 relocates the intercooler assembly to the top of the engine bay. Fresh ambient air is drawn through redesigned ducts beneath the rear decklid, with scoops on each rear quarter feeding the inlet tanks on either side of the module. Heat exchange occurs as charge air passes through the cores while ambient air flows down through the cores from the top ducts and exits below the vehicle. The cooled charge air from both cores then merges in a single center-section outlet tank before entering the Y-pipe to the throttle body.

The CSF Advantage

• Formula-1 Grade Core Technology: CSF emphasizes that the centerpiece of the CSF by PWR 992 Intercooler System is its Formula-1–grade intercooler core. Through CSF’s strategic collaboration with PWR, this advanced core technology — unmatched in the performance aftermarket — has been incorporated to deliver superior thermal efficiency.
  • 2-row core featuring rolled tubes w/ inner fins
  • 33 tubes vs. OEM’s 17
  • 3mm rolled tube vs. OEM’s 7mm
  • 4.85mm fin height vs. OEM’s 8mm
• CNC Machined Billet Construction: CSF also highlights the 100% TIG-welded, all-aluminum construction in place of the OEM crimped plastic end tanks. This upgrade is especially critical in high-boost and motorsport environments, where plastic tanks can fail under elevated pressure or vibration, while the welded aluminum design enhances strength, durability, and reliability.
