From Porsche themselves:
If you want a little extra: "Exclusive" makes it possible
Porsche 911 Carrera and 911 Turbo with even more power
Stuttgart. The Porsche individual "Exclusive" programme for the 911 Turbo and 911 Carrera models offers even more reserves of power than a sports car from Zuffenhausen normally provides. On the 911 Turbo, the power kit increases the engine power from 420 BHP (309 kW) at 5000 RPM to 450 BHP (331 kW) at 5700 RPM. At the same time, a maximum torque that has risen to 620 Nm (standard: 560 Nm) is now available between 3,500 and 4,400 URPM. The figure of 560 Nm, which the standard engine provides between 2,700 and 4,600 RPM, is now available between 2,700 and 5,600 RPM on the higher-performance 911 Turbo. This means that its power can be called upon over an extremely wide range of engine speeds. With the acceleration remaining unchanged at 4.2 seconds for 0-100 km/h, the maximum speed has risen from 305 to 307 km/h.
The Porsche engineers have managed to achieve this improvement in power and performance by making modifications, which primarily affect the turbocharger, charge cooler, controllers and exhaust system. The basic designs of the manual and automatic gearboxes have both been reinforced, which means that the increased power can be ordered at a recommended price of 12,644 Euro (price in Germany, including VAT) even for the 911 Turbo Tiptronic. Its maximum speed increases from 298 to 300 km/h with a reduction of the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h of almost half a second, to 4.5 seconds.

I understand that Porsche reinforced the X50 box by using steel syncros for 1st and 2nd gear, the addition of K24 Turbos, larger capacity intercoolers, remapped ECU, revised exhaust system.....I think that is it.

What is then the difference between a X50 and a GT2 engine? To me it sounds like they are exactly the same, where does the difference between 450 and 462 hp come from?

The x50 generates more power through larger turbos (K24s v. K16s) and different programming (more boost) . . . the x50 also has a different exhaust, but I don't think this difference generates more power.
