Anything with BOOST
Kinda of answers my performance question I posted on the C63 threads regarding performance. Does the 996TT have software, exhaust only or does it have Turbos etc for mods? I've been thinking about replacing my 03' X-50 with a C63.

The 996TT has a complete Fabspeed exhaust and intake, DV's and a custom ECU program. The turbos and intercoolers are stock X50 components. Still want to do an IPD intake plenum but the car is a freak for what the hp/tq numbers suggest. You can still take it to the grocery store and drive it mellow or you can rip the heart of of it whenever you need to.
