On the question of a retrofit, RC's statement that "...there is also a very good chance that the PK will NOT be retrofittable..." doesn't necessarily mean to me that the engine will be 3.8L or that the VTG will be bigger, just a slightly modded tranny alone could achieve that restriction.




Well I lose my warrantee if I retrofit a X51 to my June '05 built 997 C2S Cab! Porsche Germany say unofficially it would be fine, they just can't certify it as the Powerkit came out 2 months later than my car was built.

So perhaps the new Turbo Powerkit *could* be retrofitted even if Porsche say no, which therefore doesn't necessarily suggest major changes in the base car to accommodate it.



Good point, Alex,

Lack of "retrofitness" could be mechanical or merely official (per PAG).
