X50 versus turbo S

Probably a stupid question, but does the turbo S have the same horsepower and torque as a turbo with X50? Did PAG simply add the X50 kit, along with a few other things, to a regular turbo and rebadge it?

The only difference between the x50 and the Turbo S are the ceramic brakes PCCB

On paper, yes, but I drove a Turbo S and it pulls harder than an X50.

I'm waiting for someone to dyno an S.

Actually the S is a cheap package...you get all the options of a 996 TT for only 10k when they are worth about 20k

plus the S is considered to some as a collectible since only around 700 were made
