I looked for this nd found nothing, so I have to ask. Is there an upgrade or conversion for the OEM Monster T2? I seems like it's just a slimmed down version of the normal Monster. Is it worth it?

The T2 isn't slimmed down. It's a monster with less adjustability. Either the cartridges are different or it only has one. I can't remember. Once you get the fork dialed, it should ride fine. It's just harder to get dialed.

The T2 has jr.t-style dampers instead of the moto-style cartridge dampers that the T has. I'd expect the T2 to ride just like a really stiff Jr.T.

You can get Monster T carts and put 'em in to convert the T2 to a normal T; I expect you also need new top caps, possibly springs, and preload knobs.
