being on the crapper. while being drunk from last night still.

996TT = 415 K16

996TT X50 = 450 K24 (GT2 engine and tranny in TT)

(01euro only/02-03)996GT2 = 450 K24

03-05 GT2 486 K24

 

how do you CHECK whether a TT is a 'regular' or a 'X50 package' ?

from what i'm gathering in here, you can't do that unless taken to a dealer/garage

unless.. ?

 

look at the trubos if you can. that or somthing in the vin/options sticker i would believe

 

You put your fingers through the slats in the rear bumper. You'll be looking for pronounced ridges on the intercooler surface, once you got those, it's an X50. If it's a smother surface, than it's not.

 

You can also look at the option code sticker under the hood or in your owners manual. Best is to check the option code and the intercoolers.

thanks !

Craigger i guess if one were to do a full inspection then yeah that's a good idea, but for the time being what the guys have said sounds fairly straightforward

 

Thats about rite on a mustang AWD dyno.

500whp /.80=625chp

Thats well within the fudge factor.

 

Yea i guess

 

Any way to differentiate between the two lets say if you have one of both sitting beside each other?

 

What code am I looking for?

 

ummmm the code is X-50

 

What he said

 

Sorry to drag up an older post but I didnt want to start a new one seeing as how this one had a lot of good info as it is.

Does anyone have any concrete info on when officially the X50 package was offered first on the 996tt?

Looks like so far the answer is '02 but its not 100% confirmed.

Thanks.

 

In the US it was model year 2002
