I'm changing the back of mine to read 'G Turbo S'.

The CTTS physical motor/Turbos are the same a CTT the only difference is the software and intercoolers. So getting to the same or greater power levels is a snap.

The rest of the stuff is not all that fancy either.

Different bushings in the lower control arms. They cost exactly the same as the turbo/s/V6 arms so it's an easy upgrade when replacing them.

Bigger tie rod ends, again, easy maintenance upgrade.

Different lowering module for the air suspension. Many add a lowering module anyway.

Brakes are bigger but WAY WAY more costly to maintain on the CTTS and you can't run an 18" winter wheel.

Other than the cosmetic "turbo S" labels there is not really a bi difference.

This is not true. Sure you can approach the same horsepower with a tune, but the intercoolers and larger throttle body of the Turbo S will make a significant difference, not to mention if you get a chip on the Turbo S then you are once again out of reach. Also the control module for the suspension is different than the lowering module. It provides a stiffer ride to control the bigger brakes and the different air struts you overlooked. The difference in the air struts alone is around $3k I believe, the brakes about another $3k, the intercoolers, about $3k. If you check with a dealer, the difference between a Turbo and Turbo S is a lot more than just horsepower. That being said, you are not going to find a Turbo S for anywhere close to the same price as a CTT, even after the mods...

Thanks for all the input.. The updated dash I was talking about was the difference between a cayenne turbo and cayenne s in 2005. I just realized the dash was always different on a turbo than a non turbo in the earily years.
