Standard Turbo has 420 BHP
The S has 450 BHP, GT2 intercooler/K24 Turbo's, engine mapping and ceramec composite disk breaks.
GT2 is in a whole 'nother league.

If your already on this board before you own the vehicle you might as well get a base turbo and save money ...then prepare to dump tons of money into mods....lol. If not get a nicely done up one, there are plenty of 700+ hp monsters on this board for sale.

loosely speaking it is an AWD GT2, but specifically speaking, it's not even close.

Close to an AWD GT2...yeah I dont think so. The GT2 is a totally different monster. The motors might be similar, but thats about all. K24 TT owners tend to complain about lag..but there is no such thing with a GT2!!!

Suspension Geometry
Front bumper cover
Rear deck/wing
ECU settings
PSM
Clutch
Wheels


Are about the only difference. There is a lot more that is the same though. Much more the same than not.

Of course they do, one is AWD and one is RWD.

And like I said the suspension is almost completely different.

I suppose I'm basically an a@@hole...just seems that if you don't understand the difference between a GT2 and a TT you basically have ZERO knowledge....go educate your self before you post a bunch of nonsense to hear (see) yourself post. Uh, BTW I was referring the OP.
