turbo Gt2

What do I need to do to make my turbo in a gt2. Please help I'm curious, is it expensive? Is it worth it?

Well said.

If you just want to LOOK LIKE a GT2, you could buy an aftermarket GT2 wing/decklid, aftermarket GT2 front bumper, and some lowering springs.

If you actually want to convert a Turbo into a GT2 with all of the correct OEM hardware, it would be breathtakingly expensive, and you'd be better off trading your Turbo in on a real GT2 instead.

GT2 is simply in another league. Better to sell and buy it directly. Even then there are so many things you can upgrade on the GT2 the list can become insane.

That's why I am asking...Just decouple the front drive from your car and drive it for a while in rear-wheel only drive mode. Then, make another decision. :-)

GT2 is a handfull
Not for the fainthearted or chicken footed. lol
They look awesome and come with a ton of upgraded parts which would cost a whole lot more to upgrade a TT to a GT2 rather than buying a used one. I am sure many of you would agree.

That is well known to us Porsche nuts. We have a version of that too. It's called Skyline Boulevard in the Bay area. Here is a link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_State_Route_35

of course thats the most well known road. we have hundreds of lesser know roads that are just as amazing. one of my favorites is called hellbender. the turns arent as severe as dragon but we run the road at upwards of 90 mph and the turns will curl your hair!

So my suggestion is that you should consider to keep your AWD. You might need it :-)
