turbo S / Turbo 430

[TTTurbo]

Anyone know the difference between a

993 Turbo S

and

993 Turbo 430


??????

Are they the same as I have not seen many badged 430's

No turbo is "badged" 430 or 450. These models are simply badged "turbo"

std turbo was 408bhp....on early cars the x50 upgrade was available using the same k16 turbos but with a chip to up the power to 430.

TurboS in the states had this 430 engine, in UK and europe the TT'S had larger K24 turbos and associated chippage to give 450bhp......you do find a few non S turbo UK cars with later X50 option which gives the 450bhp.

The 430 has an oil cooler and a different map compared to the 408. As the previous poster said the Turbo S gets the K24's.

And don't expect the quoted power outputs from them unless verified on a rolling road.

A Turbo S will have an S on the tail plus yellow brakes as opposed to the std Turbo's Red brakes. 430 version is not an S just an ECU upgrade. Pucker S's seem to be fetching an extra £10-£15k hence the Portia craft S is £15-£20k overpriced.
