It isn't cheap. The parts from Suncoast are $1195.00 for PDK version and install is $600. Suncoast quoted me $1690 installed, but they are 3000 miles away.

Thanks! Seems like you're getting a pretty good price still. Let us know how it goes!

Hope this helps.
boredmeeting, what model 997.2 do you have. I have a 997.2 base PDK and am looking at the same mods as you described. Where did you get the SC package and what exactly is included in it? ? BTW I'm planning the same exhaust mods + intake and spacers to finish out my package. I have a 2 year CPO so will leave the side mufflers alone for now.

That clock is just a cosmetic ornament. The only function is that you can fondle it and distract you from the actual driving experience.

I added Sport/Sport Plus to my 2011 C4S PDK. Highly recommended. I call it the "sport - no chrono".

The lack of timer/clock is a positive as I like the look of the cleaner dash.

Of course, if you miss the ugly dash clock, there are options.....

Hey, does any of you guys know if they are some "gray" way to get the code on "gray" markets (like video games officials activation codes that are cheaper than the official video maker store) ?

I like Porsche (the corp) a lot but I found it very expansive, having to spend 1000$/€ on a 16 digits code (seriously it is more than 60 bucks per letter) ;-)

It is anyway my next mod because my 09C2 is the perfect candidate with the PDK and PASM, I will normally take the most of CS.

So if you guys have any clue even on MP (I had mails of some Russian guys but they only do PCM activation codes and broken knees ^^)

My car went in to the dealership on Tuesday. The install was complete yesterday but they were still waiting for Porsche to activate. I expect to get the car back today and will report after my test drive.

So, after four days at the dealership they are still waiting for Porsche to send them the activation code. I'm surprised it has taken this long. Fortunately they gave me a loanner while they are doing the install. I was planning on installing new brakes this weekend so that isn't going to happen. The dealership informed me that will be going into overdrive to get the code on Monday.

Finally get the car back after a week at the dealership. They had a tough time getting Porsche to send the activation code. Now that it is installed it was worth the wait. You don't have to put the car in manual mode for a spirited drive. I would highly recommend this upgrade if you're on the fence.

The Sport really makes a difference. My car is equipped with PASM. It's like a whole new car.

So, a couple days after getting my car back I noticed the PASM button was gone. The dealer installed a panel with the Sport and Sport Plus without the PASM. I contacted them and they agreed to order a new panel with the correct buttons and install it on their dime. I took the car in today had the new panel installed. Now I have all the buttons including a PSE button which my car doesn't have.

I need help with a clarification of what comes with a sport retrofit on my 2010 C2 PDK. Dealer says only Sport button comes with retrofit, not Sport & Sport plus. Suncoast shows both buttons on their website and I read this forum and see both buttons. Are there two levels of retro fits or is the dealer wrong? or?? Also what does Sport Plus provide for extra performance? Launch control?
