Default 2008 vs. 2009 997 Turbo differences?

Quick questions for one who may know... has there been any mechanical upgrades between 2008 and 2009 models of TT?

I know the interior was upgraded to match the 997.2 of 2009 models, but what else? I kinda remember that AWD bias was changed slightly, and some other minor tweak were made making the 2009 model a bit more track friendly? Is that true?

Thanks

Mechanically they are the same. The 2009 has PCM 3.0 as opposed to PCM 2.1 in the 2008. The 2009 models also had the option for ventilated front seats and center lock wheels. I believe there were also a few differences in paint color options in 2009.

...then you likely won't be able to tell the difference between the two model years either.

There is no difference. The 997.2 turbo was not released until 2010 model.

His question was differences between 2008 and 2009...there were differences primarily interior - e.g., PCM 3.0 was introduced as were ventilated seats, etc. Engine is the same in 08 and 09.

ok ok, I deserve that... was always looking under Water-cooled section, while Turbo is off the main page.
