That is probably a setup and alignment issue. Having a coilover setup that has rebound and compression adjustability opens up a can of worms. You really need a tuner shop that knows how to setup a suspension in order to realize the full potential of your KW's. Just installing them and doing a quick alignment is not the answer. The rebound/compression/alignment/sway bar setting combination has to be right to your liking. Not one setup is right for everyone. Everybody has a different driving style and your shop needs to be able to cater to that. I suggest finding a real suspension expert in your area to sort out the kinks for you.
. I know a lot more than what they know. I'm really hoeing to find someone with KW V3 installed on his 997TT and ask him about hes set up or setting. As I said I'm sure they are really good suspension but need the right guy to set them up

the turbo is in Saudi. I was hoping that I can take it to RUF center in Bahrain but they closed their facilities over there.

I agree with Gotboost. You need to have the installation and alignment checked.
I have driven both GT2 and Turbo. Once you have a stiffer coilover and make the appropriate alignment (more specifically more front negative camber, and a little front toe out), the gap should narrow.
Of course it does NOT make the Turbo a GT2, but it does turn it into a completely better and more "athletic" car, much closer to GT2 than stock.
1. Do you know what your front camber setting is?
2. If not, ask the dealer to give you a print-out of the alignment settings and post it here. We might be able to help.
KW (and JRZ & Moton) are all very good suspension systems. It should not feel that bad.
