Moser:

Hey guys,

I was told today by a friend that he was offered a powerkit for his new 997.2 TT to take it up to 530 hp and that this was coming from his dealer in Bahrain, as powerkit x51 option.  does anyone know if in fact porsche is offering that upgrade for the turbo?  I asked my dealer here and they seeme a bit clueless.....

Sounds more like a dealer who tries to cash in on the naivety of a customer or your friend is just gossiping (which wouldn't surprise me, it is the Middle East).

Fact is: So far, there is no 997 Turbo Powerkit from Porsche. The only official Porsche power upgrade for the 997 Turbo is called...997 Turbo S.

I can't exclude that the dealer uses Turbo S parts to modify a regular Turbo but I rather think he sells a simple chip tuning for a lot of money.
