Porsche has once again lowered the price on the 991.2 X51 Powerkit, which we all have discussed, is back by a factory warranty. Add genuine power to your 991.2 Carrera S and have the peace of mind of a PCNA parts warranty.
Genuine Porsche engine upgrade kit. Performance increase to 450 hp (331 kW). Includes two larger turbochargers, modified brake cooling (if vehicle is not equipped), optimized engine management, new engine compartment styling trim cover with Carbon inserts, and optional Sport Exhaust System (if not equipped)
This kit is only compatible with the Carrera S. We've heard lots of discussion of adding these turbos and software to a base car, but then you lose the warranty
Hmmmmmm, tempting. I’m taking delivery of a Cab S in Aug/Sept. and it sounds like a lot of bang for the buck. I did order the sport chromo, but not the sport exhaust, so I assume I’d need to tack that on to the cost?
And what about install? is this something an indie would do, or does it need to be done by Porsche?
X51 requires Sport Exhaust so you would have to select the kit that includes it. Dealer installation and activation is also required so a trip to your local Porsche dealer will be in the cards.
It's definitely the most bang for you buck performance that Porsche has ever released and everyone who has installed it seems to love the added power.
Install time is around 6 hours without the exhaust and 9-10 with the exhaust, from what we've been hearing.

Yes, it’s a 991.2 and I did get SC, but not PSE. I see it can be ordered through the link. If it were my car only, and a coupe, I’d be placing the order today. However, seeing as this is a his and herz, and it’s a Cab, I’m going to take delivery on the car first, and decide then. I’m sure this is not a one time only sale.....
If Porsche offer after market discount do they discount on new orders? Seems crazy I’m ordering right now and if I remove Power Kit I save $12k to $13k.
seems I should remove and order from you.
Its states sale sale price what is the normal price?

Can you comment on this further? Will Porsche update the software then on a Base engine? Or is this all aftermarket. In other words, if someone takes this package to a Porsche dealership, will they install it?
Sounds like a fantastic deal for a Base engine at the 4 year point.
