THE ULTIMATE ENGINE PERFORMANCE:
INTAKE UPGRADE - €5749,00

Push the boundaries of engine performance and experience the power of true technological innovation with our new Porsche 964/993 Intake Kit. Developed with passion and precision, this kit is designed for those who strive for nothing less than ultimate performance for their vehicle. Whether you’re seeking rapid acceleration, sharp throttle response, or improved power: our kit is the key to unlocking your Porsche’s full potential.

The intake system upgrade for the Porsche 964-993 significantly enhances airflow and efficiency, delivering a power gain of approximately 30-50 hp. This increase contributes to improved performance and greater driving pleasure, thanks to a more responsive, powerful engine and better fuel economy.

We have chosen to use billet aluminum instead of (carbon-reinforced) 3D-printed plastic for our Porsche intake manifold system. This decision is based on the proven reliability and durability of billet aluminum. The high heat environment of an air-cooled engine is serious, and billet aluminum provides the robustness needed to withstand these extreme conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance and dependability even on the circuit.
