Default GTS Turbos

Not sure if this is verifiable or already has been. Wondering if the turbos in the GTS are same as S or if they are in fact different? If different can someone point to the source for that?

Thanks

I have never seen this mentioned, which leads me to believe they are the same as the S with more boost. This makes sense from a manufacturing standpoint and reduces the number of mechanical configurations of the line, but from an enthusiast standpoint it's a bit of a let-down. On the bright side, there should be less lag when compared to the 991.2 GTS.

I would love to know this too. People have been saying it here but I have seen no source for that assertion. For a paltry extra 30hp it would be easier to just tune the engine software slightly and save on the re-tooling and extra supply chain costs.

agree - but the 991.2 s vs gts also has a relatively small 36 hp diff - 450 vs 414, but the gts does indeed have larger turbos by a few millimeters.
