Default Differences in X-51 engines?

Can someone give me a list of differences in the X-51 engine verses the standard3.4L 996 engine?

What I know are as follows:

Oil pan is different.
Tuning is different
Has a different oil pump to help with oil return and cornering issues and oil starvation

Not sure if there is anything else?

Thanks.

yes, a major engine upgrade. himself= couldnt one get a used ecu from europe? ( i know it probably wouldnt be cost effective) but just for ****s & giggles.

imo. i would sell my 3.4 car and get a 997. because in my particular case 10-15k more would get me in the door. and ide start with a 3.6 with 325hp before bolt ons!! oh yeah.

ps. where do i find one of these superchargers you speak of?
