I believe it'll be part number: GT2 , just kidding. I think with the introduction of the GT2, you may well be able to pick up some GT2 parts for the 50 HP gain you're looking for. My understanding is that they share the same block. Anyone out there know any differently?

Unhappy

Well to answer my own question(I just found out), Porsche wants to delay the powerkit to help GT2 sales. On another note, Porsche has decided not to make the ceramic brakes an option on the MY2002 Turbos, as all will be allocated to the GT2.

We've just recently installed a modified ecu, gt2 style turbo's, modified exhaust, more open intake on a 996tt with very nice results.
Still waiting for the dyno run as it was put together at our distributors in florida.
We did the ecu here The ecu alone should be about 50hp.
