I actually think they are the same. This is the power kit from Porsche for a .2 C2S

Different intake manifold, but I think the plenum is still the same.

I had the IPD plenum on my 997.2 before putting in the x51 powerkit. The intake plenum from the x51 is TOTALLY DIFFERENT and thus you cannot reuse the IPD plenum. The plenum that comes with the x51 kit is identical to the GTS - very pretty, very aluminum - see the pics from my detailed install. The first pic shows the NEW X51 plenum and intakes installed while the second pic is of the OLD IPD plenum and stock intake on the work bench. The parts are not interchangeable so if you have a GTS there is NO NEED for an IPD plenum.
OTOH I have the IPD plenum for sale if someone wants it

PTParks, many thanks for the explanation. Now I understand the difference. Very helpful.
Don't confuse the air intake/filter assembly with the intake plenum. The plenum distributes the intake air to the left/right engine banks and is downstream from the air filter assembly. The air intake/filter assembly's (stock or aftermarket) job is to clean and filter the incoming air. Between the two items is the throttle body, which controls the amount of ingested air. Three different parts, but all part of the complete intake system.

YMMV ! And when I get the new 2014 991 Turbo, my car will find a new home with someone who will love her as much I do
