I’m told the conclusion is that there isn’t a lot in it, the turbo was more comfortable but too loud - it will wake the neighbours.

They said similar but GTS better value and better suspension.

The gen 3 GTS should be the better all rounder.

It has the same power as the Gen 1 Turbo PP and the lower GTS suspension tuned for handling.

Hence better performance and handling.

The Turbo will have only been loud at constant speed if it had PSE active.

As for comfort that is subjective but depends if the GTS had the standard 8 way seats in which case the Turbo with its standard 14 or 18 way seats would be a more comfortable place to sit.

I thought the Macan 3 GTS has the same engine/power as the Macan 2 Turbo?

That’s correct - gen1 turbo has a different engine

Am just about to swap my Gen 2 Turbo for a Gen 3 GTS, and am interested to feel what the difference will be.

Am guessing (hoping for!) slightly firmer ride in Normal, and sweeter handling (ie more fun to steer) as have specced torque vectoring. They have the same seats so no difference on that account.
