What's X-50?
Pardon my 996TT ignorance, but i drive a '86 911 3.2 Carrera. I was scanning this board, and since i love all things Porsche, was intrigued by all the talk about the X-50. Is this a dealer option? Is it basically 2 larger turbo's good for extra 50hp? Any exterior mods on these X50 optioned cars?
Thanks
Mike

I used the Search feature to come with the following:
-----------------
Following is the announcement made in PCNA's Press Kit:
"The 911 Turbo adds an optional engine enhancement performance package that increases horsepower to 450 (331 kW) @ 5,700 rpm and sustains 457 lb.-ft (620 Nm) of peak torque from 3,500 - 4,500 rpm. The new package includes modifications to the turbo charger, air intake cooler, electronic control unit, exhaust system and a strengthened transmission. This option cannot be retrofitted to the standard 2001 and 2002 911 Turbo."
MSRP for option X50 is US$17,700, CAD$24,400.
This option is available in limited supply.
--------------------
From what I gather on the list, the turbos are K24 instead of K16 and they use steel syncros. In any case, that's a lot of $$/HP.
