Powerkit Cayenne Turbo - details available now
We finally were able to put our hands on the technical specs of the Cayenne Turbo 500 HP powerkit.
The modifications are pretty interesting, they include some suspension mods too.
Here's the list of the changed parts (of course the most important ones, not mentioning all those little screws, ducts, etc.):
Older Cayenne Turbo (before MY 2005?) also need new air suspension height level sensors and of course the new 20'' rims with modified spokes (available on cars around end of MY 2004 production). An alternative to the new 20'' rims may be the 17 mm wheel spaces in the rear and 5 mm wheel spacers front. Unfortunately I don't think that 5 mm spacers are available from Porsche for the Cayenne (yet).
19'' wheels are MANDATORY because of the larger brake system, the Porsche 19'' wheels work without problems, only the older 20'' Sport Techno rims aren't working.
Install cost is around 1700-2000 Euro in Germany.
I don't have a price tag yet for the retrofit kit but I suppose it costs as much as the kit on a new car.
Judging by the involved modification parts, I think that the powerkit not only delivers more power but also better braking and handling performance.
