You may not believe it, but it's not a turbo bumper. It's actually a C4S bumper and the reason I can tell is that the lower skirt of the turbo goes straight across and the C4S bumper goes up in the middle, like yours.
Other than that, from what I understand and know, they are exactly the same. The reason the turbo front lip is straight is because of the aerodynamics (and it's the top speed aerodynamics of a C4S vs. a turbo which is something like 174mph vs. 190mph - does it really matter?!?!?)

How is the aerodynamic balance of the car now?

Yes, I used your write-up on the turbo bumper install, thanks. Did you totally close up all gaps under the bumper?
I did the center with a piece of rubber but there are air gaps under the radiators since the ducts are out.
My temp appears to be running slightly higher than usual but it’s been very hot here in northern VA.
I am looking to rework the air ducts to get more air pressure on the radiators.
I got a speed yellow a couple of years ago. The bumper was pristine and the color matched perfectly! The aerodynamics are the same as the carrera4S or the anniversary edition with the small, rear spoiler...
