Not only will you be throwing away $15K, you might also be losing some additional value as some would think that the overall value of the car is decreased as they might think that the 996 engine is trashed due to the stress that the blower put on it. By the way, not sure that you can pick up a TT CAB for $70K-$80K; at least not for a few more years.
I think I was conservative on the $30,000 diff between mine and the TT Cab. You're probably right, it is more than that even! I think I'll just enjoy what I have and get a bike again if I have the NFS bug! Then just wait and go for the TT. I might have to give up the sunshine though... $30+ grand is still a little too steep for me.
But, hey, I have a 911 Porsche so I sure can't whine about it !!!

Sounds like everyone is giving you great advice. Remember, torque is more important than hp in acceleration and the turbo is cranking it out at only 2800 rpms. This gets it going rather quickly. Also a used turbo is still a turbo. Much better resale. Good luck.
