X51 for GT3?

I signed up with RSS Plenum group buy and planned on installing the plenum on a 04 GT3 (mk2).

Then, I got a call from RPM asking me if I had the X51 package on the GT3 (apparently, it doesn't fit without it). Now, I figure I know a thing or two about Porsche's but I would check with 6speed first.

1. Is there an X51 package for the 996 GT3
2. And if there is, how can I check if its there?
3. Has anyone installed a plenum on a 996-GT3?

(For the record, I am fully aware of the X50-TT and X51-997 powerkits)

No such thing as an X51 package for the GT3. There is no plenum that will fit a 996 GT3 either.

x51

They probably called it that so people would understand what is was?

Most people know what an X51 package is and does!

Perhaps this was really a reference to the Area 351 package. Hopefully this won't alienate anyone.

Thanks for the replies .. I sent the link to RPM..

Apparently there was a bit of confusion between the 996 and gt3 fitments.
Long story short .. there is no plenum for the 996-GT3.
