K16 vs k24 turbo's
I have an 01 Turbo without the X50 package. I know my car has the k16's, but my question is if I bought original X50 Turbos (K24's) and just swapped them with mine, would there be any immediate power increases. I would assume there would be more lag since they are larger also. I currently also have a factory gt2 exhaust on the car that I purchased from a board member a while back. I would eventually chip the car and do the upgraded intercoolers. Thanks for your response.

First and foremost is a chip. GIAC offers the most aggressive K24 program. Second would be an exhaust. The stock exhaust on any Turbo Porsche is extremely restrictive. Throw in a panel air filter and some diverter valves and you've got yourself a monster.

So I guess the answer is, If I did theGT2 Turbo's and chip, that would possibly yield a significant power increase, and then of course the exhaust would help also. I have already done the Baileys and bought them AWE last year since I was having tons of boost problems.
Now I had plans to chip the car soon, so if I did the chip with stock turbo's would I have to buy a new overlapping chip program for the upgraded turbo's? I am still deciding if the upgraded turbos are really worth it for me, since I know the chip is.

However, there is a Stage II turbo setup with the Upsolute chip that makes some serious hp (perhaps a bit more) for less than you would spend on the K24 turbos for, much less for 2 K-24 turbos and a chip.

The GIAC chip for K16 Turbos is $2000. Let's say in a year you upgrade to K24's, you will get full trade in value. The K24 specific chip is $3000. Since you are already an exsisting GIAC customer, subtract $2000. Simple as that!

I can attest to the power of GIAC...went from an 01 TT to an 03 X50 and although faster not that impressive for 18K...
Next was the Baileys, K&N, Fabspeed supersport and Imagine Auto/GIAC 600HP program - DAMN that car was fast....now im ruined as no car will satify my power needs
