997.2 Turbo vs. 997.2 Turbo S. Engine differences?
Sorry, another question. I feel like such a newbie in the 997 Turbo forum... I know the 996 Turbo platform inside and out but still have lots to learn on the 997 side.
What are the engine differences between the Turbo and Turbo S in the 997.2 gen cars that give the S the extra 30HP?
Does the S just have an hotter ecu tune?
Fancier air-box?
Same or different turbos?
Same or different intercoolers?
Same or different exhaust?
On the 996 gen 2004, the Turbo S included the X50 powerkit, which included larger turbos among other changes, but I recall that the 997.2 S had fewer hardware changes...

Interesting... thanks!
So Kevin, whats the "tunability" of the 991.2 DFI Turbo S? Coming from a 996 Turbo world where big power gains are available with software only, is there significant headroom for more power in the DFI T S without upgrading exhaust, headers, intake, turbos, etc.?

With just Exhaust, I was told you can gain close to 100 whp from Custom tuning (Emre / AIM)....Not to say Sam can't help reach the same.
I'm so wanting tuning..just trying to be money smart right now, as well as deciding on the Fidelity warranty.
