Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I tried using all caps no caps and caps on letter no caps on numbers and still come up short.
Leading evidence: 'Use caps no caps and caps' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use caps no caps and caps' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

LOL just been through this. you will get 30 differing opinions. i have studied this and there seems no conclusive way.
Give the VIN to a porsche OCP - they will tell you if it was fitted at the factory.
But a dealer could have fitted it subsequently.
Physical proof:
Intercoolers are different, but, it could be a standard turbo with the x50 type intercoolers!
Don't rely on having X50 on the options sticker, not all of them have it on there.
All other threads on this topic have conflicting info -
Calling Porsche is the best start
however, to further complicate THAT - the X50 I looked at - Porsche said it definitely didn't have X50 pack when it left the factory, and that the dealer may have added it.
That's sort of what I thought but was hoping there was an easier way. I'll call Porsche NA and give them the vin number and hope they come up with something. Build sheets and options sheets that state the X50 ,I suppose would suffice if one selling a car had that information.
Thanks!
Try adding your VIN to the end of this URL (all the letters need to be caps apparently):
Code:
https://admin.porschedealer.com/reports/build_sheets/print.php?vin=
That should give you the same info that the dealer will see, but it's not 100%. Giving it our C4 coupe's VIN claims it is an 01 Targa (didn't exist) with the sunroof delete option (we did order that option, but I just find it funny on a "Targa"). Other than the model and price (probably due to being the wrong model) all the options were correct though.
I cannot believe that no one said ask KC!!! Look at this signature for Pete's sake!

Also: A more creative title would have been: Where do you put your X50?
