About to pull the trigger on a new 2011 997 Turbo S and was wondering if anyone knows if the Turbo S will have any hardware changes over the base Turbo, such as different turbos, exhaust, larger intercoolers etc. or is just more power through additional boost via tuning.

I've seen the 10 page brochure describing the Turbo S, but it isn't overly technical as it is meant to educate sales people (not that I have an issue with sales people, just saying)

Thanks.

 

Just do it.

 

Oh dear. A first post too.

 

If all goes well,I should be posting from the factory in about 2 months

 

I THINK I read on the Porsche website that it was due to software that the power is increased.

I can't imagine the changes to the brand new 3.8lTT motor being that extreme considering it's only been out as a '10 model, but who knows. I do not think it is like the X50 package was in the 996TT where the turbos and other mechanical parts are different.

Goodluck. You seem to love speed (world's quickest benz!) so I'm sure a new 997.2TTS with a couple of bolt-ons will leave a big smile on your face

 

lool the prob ... it says board sponsor under his nick name

 

Look forward to lots of photos as mine won't arrive until sometime in September. BTW what colour combo did you go for?

 

After seeing a dark blue C4S convertible with natural brown leather,i was impressed by how elegant the combo was(especially with leather everywhere Porsche puts plastic as standard!!PCM,rear console...)
I cant wait to be able to take pics of my S

 

Done. April build from Champion.

 

Thanks. Pulled the trigger. Should be here in June. Friends have a bet going as to how many days I'll own it before I make the first modification. Can't leave well enough alone.
