not sure this is a "kit" you can slap on to an existing engine.
"Distinguished by its carbon fiber air cleaner housing, the X51 Powerkit boosts performance through a series of engine enhancements including a larger throttle body, optimized intake airflow, cylinder heads and exhaust manifold modifications, changes in the control unit, and the inclusion of a sport exhaust system."
Does kind of show you why they detuned the exhaust and airbox on the C2S though. They wouldn't be able to sell the X51 upgrades because the power would already be there.
The AWE exhaust upgrades unleash a lot of these horses.

Just make sure you do some SERIOUS homework before you buy this package though (initial order or otherwise). Ask people who have it and others who have tracked an S along side it. You'll be surprised at what little real world performance you get for that money.
