Here is the info I got from www.sprintboostersales.com, which makes me think that it works so long as you have e-gas. I didn't see the part available for the 986 model, which partially makes me suspect you may be right. On the other hand, at gmpperformance, I do see it available when I go through the process of entering my car's info...which makes me think the connector that is used in the e-gas is the same for 986/996 and 987/997. Anyhow, I copied the info for the sprint booster below and also the link they have at gmp where I saw it available for the 986.

SprintBooster, a Plug-n-Play Performance Upgrade for your Model Year 2000 or later vehicle. This is an upgrade that you can feel with normal everyday driving, not just on the track at redline like most other performance upgrades!

Most cars in the 21st century have replaced the more conventional throttle cable for an ECM (Electronic Control Module) that translates how hard the pedal is pushed into electronic signals in order to provide power to the wheels.

The ETC (Electronic Throttle Control), which is also known as Drive-By-Wire, has the unfortunate downside of delayed response and subdued acceleration, which can create problems in certain situations such as up-hill starts, quick gearchanges and overtaking.

SprintBooster overcomes this throttle response delay for your vehicle by providing crisp, on-tap acceleration for whenever the driver demands it.
