Is the X50/GT2 intercooler a ripoff?
Hi all. In another forum, one of the 996tt aftermarket tuners
has completely taken apart an X50 intercooler to discover the
reason for the "10% better cooling" claim, and he reports that
there is zero difference between a standard intercooler and
the X50/GT2 intercooler except:
1 - part number
2 - external mounting points
3 - cost.
I would be surprised and disappointed at Porsche if they made
a claim for better cooling, and that the claim was a knowable
falsehood.
