AMS Performance Intercooler System for 991.1 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S

AMS Performance Intercooler System for 991.1 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S

The Alpha Performance Porsche 991.1 Intercooler System utilizes a pair of 5” thick, high volume cores giving you the most power producing upgrade on the market. Each core provides optimum fin density for unmatched cooling.

AMS developed the Alpha Performance Porsche 991.1 Intercooler System to provide you the best cooling upgrade for your Porsche. Before bringing these intercoolers to market, their goal was set to provide a system that sacrificed nothing in terms of quality, fitment, aesthetic design and performance.

The Highest Quality Garrett© Intercoolers You Can Get For Your Porsche 991.1

• The Alpha 991.1 Intercooler System utilizes a pair of 5” thick, high volume cores giving you the most power producing upgrade on the market. Each huge 13.1”x5”x8.7” (333mm X 127mm X 221mm) Garrett© core provides optimum fin density of 18 fins per inch and 9.25mm fin height for unmatched cooling.
• The engineering team designed the Alpha 991.1 Intercooler end tanks with extremely smooth features and geometry for the best flow resulting in maximum horsepower. Designed using Solidworks 3D CAD software, these end tanks have improved flow over boxy sheet metal end tanks found on other intercoolers.

Cooler Intake Charge Boosts Power And Response

• Channeling cool air to the intercoolers is vital for optimum performance of any intercooler. Some manufacturers choose to remove the factory intercooler inlets in order to cut costs. This greatly reduces the effectiveness of ANY intercooler whether it’s larger or not. Others require that you cut up and tape the factory shrouding to the intercooler core in an attempt to seal the shroud to the intercooler core. While this is better than removing the shroud, it is still not the most effective way to boost performance.
• The Alpha 991.1 Intercooler System retains full use of the stock intercooler inlets (located in front of each rear wheel) forcing cool air into their larger, carbon fiber shrouds. Not only is this option more aesthetically pleasing, each rigid, OEM-quality, carbon fiber piece is made to seamlessly mate to that Alpha Intercoolers feeding them cooler ambient air more efficiently than the other alternatives. Not to mention eliminating the removal or destruction of your intercooler ducting.

Maximum Airflow For Maximum Horsepower And Torque

• To further improve airflow, the engineering team went a step further by computer designing precisely molded, custom silicone couplers. These provide perfect fitment and optimized geometry for improved airflow volume and velocity providing quicker boost response helping you stay ahead of your competition! Perhaps the best feature about this intercooler system is that it maintains cooling efficiency as more power producing upgrades are added to your Porsche 991.1! It improves the effectiveness of your other upgrades giving you maximum hp output potential!

“I never thought intercoolers and inlets on my 911 would have made this big of an improvement over the stockers, and after seeing the results on the dyno I wanted to put together all the data I had to compare. If you have a 997 or 991 Porsche 911 Turbo you NEED AMS Performance Intercoolers on your car, period! In short, I modded my car shortly after I bought it with an upgraded clutch, Fabspeed Motorsport Exhaust, Injector Dynamics Injectors, and of course a COBB Tuning AP. Bone stock the car made around 460whp on our dyno, which was already impressive. With the new parts, on 93oct, we saw great gains, making a hair over 500whp. The next step was E85, but it was late last year and I didn’t get a chance to get the car back on the dyno until recently. The car was, obviously, noticeably faster on the street as we started tuning. However, when the weather got hot and ambient temps were over 80*, you could tell the car was way down on power.

Fast forward to last week, when I got the car back on the dyno we found out how bad the stock intercoolers were (and immediately ordered the AMS IC Kit). Full disclosure here, our dyno is run uncorrected, and it was hotter and more humid on the baseline runs compared to runs with the intercoolers installed. Regardless, the gains are amazing. On a 4th gear pull on the dyno with stock intercoolers, intake temp at the manifold started at 81* F and climbed to 168* F by the end of the pull, and on the street doing a 3-4-5 gear pull intake temps started 118* (it was only 80* ambient that day) and rose to 170*!

In comparison, with the new AMS intercoolers, charge piping, and turbo inlets installed and back on the dyno, during a 4th gear pull the intake temps started at 74* and ended at 71*. On the street doing the same 3-4-5 pull intake temps started at 96* and ended at 118*. On the dyno sheets attached, you can see that we picked up 70whp and 70ftlbs, and an increase in spool. While the intercoolers contributed a large amount to the differences here, there were a few other factors worth noting. The stock inlets are pretty restrictive, and we swapped them to Torque Solution units at the same time. Also, the ambient temp in the dyno room was about 15* cooler on the second day. Thanks to Martin and the guys at AMS for making a killer kit, with perfect fitment and top notch finish, they even changed the Y pipe to full carbon instead of the aluminum piping in the older version at no additional cost!”

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only.

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at [email protected] with any inquiries.
