Is it just me or does this look like a modified CGT intercooler?? It has the oval output just like the 924 throttle body and the intercooler input is on the same side as the turbo. If it did fit, it would be nice as the intercooler is now water cooled. Just run your cool water lines. I don't know, what do you think??

In case anyone outside the US is interested in this... don't be.

Looks like an air to water intercooler, however, I think it is a bit tall to fit over the valve cover of a 931, would have to cut a hole in the hood to make it fit also.

looks like the stock AWIC out of an old subaru (i think it was subaru that had them.) My friend had one on his datsun.

Definitely not a modified CGT. The heat exchanger is too tall.

Yea Ideola, but it would have been a nice conversion piece if it wasn't too tall.

As flosho pointed out, it could probably still work provided you were willing to cut up a hood and install a cowling or something. The other troublesome aspect would be the charge air outlet, both in terms of getting it to match up to the location of the throttle body (height wise) as well as sourcing a connecting tube that would interface with the ovoid shape on the IC, and the slightly different ovoid shape of the SI TB, or the round shape of the SII TB.

Still, a very interesting piece indeed!

Here is the seller's response to my inquiry regarding dimensions:

'cant see anything wrong with it'...

so it could be leak as hell.

edit: I put 4 bar of air pressure on my oil cooler and it showed no faults. Any intercooler or heat exchanger should hold this pressure too (oil cooler should take more in my case).
