Turbo wing is cool. I thought it was not interchangeable, though.

This is according to my dealer. The tech says it's a plug and play. The part is a genuine turbo part and not an aftermarket sourced one.

Cost is right around $2k plus install from what I have gathered so far. Maybe Suncoast can get better pricing. After watching a few things being done on the car and seeing how complicated this car is, I am going to stick to having the dealer do it.

It costs a few bucks for sure. I also feel (and no disrespect to OP) like the turbo wing is exclusive to the turbo. Personally, I would not put one on an S or 4S because it takes something away from that. I'm not using the term 'poser' because I don't see it that way. The wing is cool but it belongs on a turbo. My .02

I here ya. No offense taken.. However, it's no different than 997 or 997tt guys putting on GT3 front bumpers or 997tt guys putting on GT2 rear wings on their cars. Even though certain parts are exclusive to a particular car, putting some of those parts on a different model sometimes makes it unique IMO..

The only reason I am looking at the turbo wing is becuase none of the aftermarket tuners have a wing worth putting on the car (plus the whole functionality of it is pretty darn cool). The factory wing on the S and 4S is pretty weak in my opinion and doesn't do the car justice. Both the Techart and Speedart rear wings are ugly and not worth spending money on.

Ed, I am sure glad that you are not my money manager.... Actually, I'm waiting for my exhaust first. Then the wing. I want to do this car in steps and enjoy it.

That's EXACTLY where I'm coming from. The Turbo wing is just cool...whereas the S/4S spoiler does come across as an afterthought. I actually wish I could disengage it when I'm cruising below 80 or so...it just doesn't look all that great. And the way I see it, most of the people that might think I'm putting on the 'poser' look will be other Panamera owners, and they'll know that I'd rather be in a PTT anyway
