A direct-fit CSF by PWR intercooler for supported 3.0-liter Porsche 911 Carrera (992.1) applications, built to improve charge-air thermal consistency while retaining the factory mounting location.
CSF part 8217 replaces the original crimped-plastic-end-tank intercooler with a TIG-welded, billet-end-tank assembly using a PWR rolled-tube core. CSF explicitly lists a different intercooler for 992.2 Carrera applications.
Vehicle fitment
- Supported Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0T models on the 992.1 platform within CSF's current application table, including listed Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Carrera T, GTS, and Targa configurations.
- CSF's application table contains trim-specific year ranges; confirm VIN, model year, trim, market specification, engine, and OEM intercooler part number before ordering.
- Does not fit Porsche 992.2 Carrera models. CSF identifies part 8188 for supported non-hybrid 992.2 Carrera 3.0T applications.

What is included
CSF by PWR intercooler assembly, part 8217. CSF states that the system installs with the original hardware, ducts, and shrouds; confirm the latest package contents and any service hardware required before installation.
Required and recommended supporting components
Inspect and replace damaged seals, clamps, ducts, shrouds, and mounting hardware as needed. For tuned or turbo-upgraded vehicles, the intake, turbo inlets, charge-air plumbing, ignition, exhaust flow, fuel, and calibration strategy should be reviewed as a complete system.
Installation notes
CSF describes 8217 as a plug-and-play, drop-in installation using the factory mounting points. Professional installation, pre-installation fitment confirmation, charge-air connection inspection, and a post-installation leak and fault check are recommended.
