Same happened with GT3 RS wings, Deckids, etc. No joke. Have an email where a lot of this stuff comes out of Zuffenhausen when I ordered the first 10 GT3 RS decklids and spoiler into the states "these must be popular, we need to raise the price". This is due to the performance side of Porsche not being integrated in ordering. They work on email and faxes to ship products to the normal side of Porsche. Price more than doubled in 6 weeks...

are they just larger piping?.. and kevin..
Go and look at the 997GT2RS specs and compare that to the X50. Boost, HP and torque across the RPM band

can anyone answer what is either fundamental difference? or the difference specifically between 996 gt2 i/c's and gt2rs ic's?
i get there is a difference, but what might that be?

You didn't get my point then...
The 997.2 3.8ltr Turbo has the very same IC as the 997GT2RS..
The new IC are more efficient. The foil(aluminum corrugation) and fin technology/design allows more heat transfer vs the X50/GT2 IC's. There is ZERO difference in the fin/foil between the standard K16 and the X50 IC EXCEPT, the X50/GT2 IC has the fins extend past the core assy. Roughly 3/16" You are creating more surface area to cool the charge air, but not enough to run higher boost and boost as high and added displacement of the 3.8ltr TT. Look at the torque that these engines make vs the X50.. Overlay the stock torque curves. The VNT turbochargers are working harder delivering more boost sooner and longer thru the RPM curve (stock vs stock).. The new IC's have to work harder>> more efficient.
You can buy a set of 997GT2RS IC for $1300.

so does this all come down to more efficient heat transfer/cooling? sorry if these are dumb questions. these distinctions have never been quite clear to me.
