Hey guys, long time lurker and recent member here. I’ve been a fan of the Panny since the beginning and finally will be in the market for one soon. Can’t afford a new one but will be looking for 2012/2013 PTT or PTTs.

My question is has anyone proved the turbo vs turbo S debate with the turbo part #’s to be the same or not? Not just the recall letter.

Turbos do have different part numbers as the compressor wheel varies from standard turbo to "S".

GIAC advertises the same net power with their 93 program - Turbo or Turbo S.

Chedman13 is infamous around these parts

Reviving this great thread. I have a 2014 Porsche Panamera Turbo Executive and wondering what exactly the differences are between the Turbo and Turbo S.

Here is what I found so far:

1) Badges: engine cover, instrument cluster, front entry door guards, rear trunk - these all say "Turbo S" instead of "Turbo".

2) Engine Software - different tune.

3) Turbos - possibly different?

4) Manifold - different?

4) Plenum - this part is confusing to me. I have the regular accordion plastic plenum. The Turbo S has a metal one, and two extra connections (plastic plenum has two, metal has four). What's even more strange is that I found another "Turbo" that has the metal one. Anyone know what this is and why it's different? The metal one looks similar to the IPD one (http://www.ipdplenums.com/products/p...panamera-turbo).

Either way, I'm wondering if it is possible, and if it makes any sense to convert my Turbo to a Turbo S using OEM factory products.

Thanks.

You will get more power for less money with upgraded turbos and tune just like the ones from FVD.
