Turbo kit for 997.2 C2S?
Does anyone know if there is a turbo kit in development for the 997.2 C2S? I know there is one for the 996's, and I'm not sure about the 997.1's.....but a quick google search gave me unrelated links for the 997.2. I understand it will probably take a while, which is fine by me.....I love this car too much.....and I want RWD with Turbo :P

You should reach out to Vivid Racing (a board sponsor here), who have a lot of expertise in performance enhancements for Porsche.
I have their first 997.1 turbo kit in my '06 C2S and I love every minute of it. The car is absolutely transformed.
I know they are looking for a donor vehicle to develop a similar kit for the 997.2.

In the original posting, the OP mentioned he wanted rear wheel drive and turbo power. That means either aftermarket for $10K plus labor, OR a 997 GT2, which would mean approx. $50,000 over the trade-in value of his 997.2 C2S.
And my 997.1 turbo RWD C2S makes more power than a 997.1 TT

And I sorta want a single turbo rather than twins.....I feel like it's sometimes more fun. I've still got some time, and I'm not looking to do this anytime soon, I was just curious :P

Stephen, I'm in the same boat. I talked to Vivid briefly, but I think it doesn't warrant voiding my warranty.

bumping this....still curious. I saw videos a while back from TPC with a turbo kit installed on a DFI PDK Boxster(or maybe it was a Cayman)....so I don't know if there is any development happening for the 911 DFI motor.

Yes, they are almost done with the 997.2 single turbo kit. Contact Tom or Mike @ TPC for details. I'm hoping to get mine done this coming winter.

I have the TPC turbo and my car was CPO'ed. My dealer said unless they can prove the turbo broke something, my car is under warranty. I had the RMS replaced under warranty.
