Default 996 turbo spoiler on c4s?

So tomorrow I pick up my new calipers redone in acid green. While I was at it, I purchased a new S emblem painted in the same color to add some flash to the car. Before I put everything together... I'm curious as to if the 996 turbo spoiler would fit on a c4s. Theoretically it's the same body, sans the inter cooler inlets, so I don't think fitment would be a issue.

Would the electronics be the same for the spoiler actuator? I LOVE the concept of oem plus, so I don't want to have a spoiler that's either as it came or comes from a high up model. Any one have any insight to this?

Long story short for anyone who wants info on this. Yes it will fit BUT

1) you lose the center reflector
2) you can't transfer the electronics from the factory wing to the turbo wing because the c4s wing is electrical where as the turbo is hydraulic
3) the smog pump needs to be moved ala evoms smog pump relocation bracket
4) the airbox gets in the way of the hydraulics so it needs to be "Fabricated"
5) the inlet on the passenger side of the wing needs to be closed off in some way due to the different airbox on the turbo.

Sooooo I won't be doing this. :-(

In case you weaken and reconsider this at some future point, you also forgot to price a new Turbo spoiler system should the one you obtain develop a leak. And they do. Some have had luck "rebuilding" the Turbo spoiler hydraulic system so there's that possible option to you should the need arise.

I can say that I investigated and did confirm that the Turbo wing with hydraulics works as intended it plugs into the SAME connector as the stock C4S electric wing but all the other items above still apply. Oh BTW there is a difference between the conv and coupe deck lids even on the wide body cars
