I was referring to going turbo four and leaving NA six but I'm sure you know this as well.
A turbo four/six plus PDK is the holy grail for Porsche, they get fewer in-warranty issues from people screwing up their engines or transmissions, lower costs to make more power and keep up with the other Germans, higher mpg to a market that is no longer impressed with 30+mpg highway, and quicker lap times all around. The manual shift NA six has reached its limit on reliability, power and costs that Porsche is willing to stomach.
