How good is a 996 engine upgrade?
Answers:
Do you mean "Turbo S" spec X50 upgrade?
It has an extra 30bhp over the ‘standard’ 911 Turbo due to larger turbos, an engorged intercooler and a remapped ECU. It has minimal impact on performance, with the 0-62mph time dropping to 4.2s and the top-end rising slightly to 191mph.
Porsche has concentrated on the in-gear acceleration, releasing an extra 80Nm (44lb/ft)of torque to take the Porsche up to 474lb/ft (620Nm). This means that the extra power is focused on ballistic overtaking moves, and also increasing the already impressive range of this 3.6-litre engine.
Originally the X50 power upgraded added £8709 to the 911 Turbo price. On top of that was £5k for ceramic brakes to create the S.
Don't know what it would cost now but I think I would keep it standard or look to swap for an S, that should be more cost effective in the long run!
Cheers
