Does anyone know if pushing the sport response button gives a temporary burst in power in addition to putting everything in its sportiest setting? My 997 turbo when placed in sport mode would give a short (20 sec) increase in torque. I have never seen anything in writing that says the 992 does this and I suspect not, but two salesmen have told me it does. Just curious as today I pushed the button for the first time now that I’m past my break in period.

It does give you a little more boost from the turbo. That’s why you see an increase in torque.

I've heard it "overboosts" the turbos (maybe gives a slight PSI increase) but don't know how true this is. Heard it on the internet somewhere. So it must be true. Right?

According to the manual: "Faster build-up of boost pressure". Effectively just like sport plus, more related to the PDK. I believe in the TT and TTS cars there's overboost.

I wonder how that works mechanically, I imagine the throttle is staying open longer on overrun and lift off, increased throttle responsiveness and Pdk always being in the lowest gear keeping revs high and turbos spooling.

Curiosity question -- why aren't the 2020 manuals online yet? Anyone know? Thanks.

You can access them via the "Good to Know" mobile/tablet app.
