Porsche 718 Cayman & Boxster Intercooler / Charge Cooler Cooling Circuit Upgrade (2017–2024) - RaggDoll Motorsports

Porsche 718 Cayman & Boxster Charge Cooler Upgrade

600+ HP Cooling Power — No Engine-Out Required

The RaggDoll Motorsports Additional Heat Exchanger System is a high-performance intercooler upgrade for the Porsche 718 Cayman and Boxster, engineered specifically for 2017–2024 2.0L and 2.5L turbocharged models.

Designed to support 600+ horsepower, this air-to-water charge-cooling system dramatically lowers intake air temperatures, reduces heat soak, and delivers consistent, repeatable performance under aggressive street and track conditions — without requiring engine removal.

Built exclusively for the Porsche 718 (982) platform, this is not a universal intercooler adaptation. It is a purpose-engineered charge cooler solution designed around Porsche’s factory cooling architecture.

Why the Factory Porsche 718 Intercooler Becomes a Limitation

The Porsche 718 uses a liquid-to-air intercooler (charge cooler) rather than a traditional front-mount air-to-air intercooler. While effective at stock power levels, the factory system becomes overwhelmed as power increases.

Common issues include:

• Rising intake air temperatures
• Heat soak during repeated pulls
• ECU timing reduction
• Inconsistent power delivery

These problems are amplified with ECU tuning, turbo upgrades, hot climates, and track use.

The RaggDoll Motorsports system solves this by increasing intercooler coolant volume and heat-rejection capacity, allowing intake air temperatures to remain stable even under sustained boost.

Heat Sink Heat Exchanger System — Designed for the Porsche 718

This upgrade adds a high-capacity heat exchanger to the factory charge-cooling circuit, dramatically improving the system’s ability to shed heat.

By lowering intercooler coolant temperatures, the system:

• Maintains stable intake air temperatures
• Improves ignition safety
• Preserves power consistency pull after pull
  

The heat exchanger is strategically positioned for maximum airflow, utilizing high-pressure frontal air rather than compromised side locations, without sacrificing OEM functionality.
