GT2RS - Running multiples tunes ?
Porsche must have recently updated the parts system and superseded the original GT2 factory turbos. If you order them now, yes, you may get the same ones.
But two years ago we upgraded a GT2RS and the turbos that came off the car were different then a GT2 we compared them with, I'm amost sure.
They do this a lot. When the 997.2 Turbo and Turbo S came out...originally they had different part numbers for pistons/rods/crankshaft...which led us to believe that the engine were slightly different. Today, if you look them up, they show the same replacement part #'s for both Turbo and Turbo S. Porsche has a habit of updated parts a few years after the cars come out in order to make the parts delivery systems easier and cheaper. Or sometimes it's just because one part is found to be better then another. Who knows...
*edit...I just confirmed in the PET system...they currently DO show the same part number for both GT2 and GT2RS. Interesting. Looks like Porsche now offers the RS turbos as replacement for the standard GT2. Interesting...
