Infact all 02 carrera tips come with the same gearbox used by the turbo.

TipS tranny will take xtra hp/tq because I'm told its the same tranny used for the Turbo.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I don't know that they will sell a complete engine/X51 (reasonably). I heard the cost on a stock 996 engine (from a dealer) as $28,000. Then add the cost of $10,000 for X51 (cost installed at production) and you've got a $38,000 engine.... hmm maybe a TT engine is cheaper?
Another option is that you could by an X51 engine upgrade kit ($7,000 from Carnewal.com) and find a good mechanic to install it on your (MY02 or 03 only) car.
From my understanding some of the X51 parts are on consrtiction until Dec/Jan as there is a limited supply and they are primarily using them in production vehicles.
The only part in particular I was made aware of was the headers, from someone who was considering ordering them. Gert may have better access to parts on the other side of the pond.
I wonder why X51 is only for 6spd. and not TipS? TipS tranny will take xtra hp/tq because I'm told its the same tranny used for the Turbo. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
Infact all 02 carrera tips come with the same gearbox used by the turbo. Good point Don, so does anyone know the answer to that one <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
Dennis, you have a 3.4l... that changes everything, why don't you contact TPC about the supercharger kit... more HP and much cheaper? The other option is to get a GT3 engine. They are reasonable available in the US. Why are you looking to swap motors verses upgrading the whole car?
That's what I mean 02 Targa, if the Tip tranny is grong enough for the Turbo, it should be able to handle the extra hp/tq of the X51 upgrade. Does anyone know of any reason why this can't be accomplished? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

I've been told (from a reliable source) the dealer cost on a 3.4L crate motor was $8200. I guess there is $20k profit for the dealer, if so they should be wearing a ski mask.
