Any difference between California TT's and standard US TT's??

Doing my research on the 996 TT while I'm saving up some cash for the purchase and I noticed there are different VIN codes for California TT's and TT's for the rest of the US. So, are there any actual differences between the two?

My gut tells me it might be in the emissions system or the factory tune due to emissions, but I'll wait for the answer from you guys.

Thanks!

I don't know, but Jeremy Clarkson once said that "if you drive the turbo in LA the air it sucks in is more polluted that what comes out the exhaust"

I remember that episode... I laughed for a while after that one. He's such a tool... but a funny tool.

Very good. I hate LA air. I live 40 miles south of LA. No difference, I purchased mine from a dealership on the east coast and shipped it to California.
