I've been going through some of the history that came with my car (2002 996 Turbo).
I noticed that on some of the service receipts the model is listed as Turbo S, now I know it's not an 'S' being MY2002.
I did come across a "Vehicle Master Enquiry Print" from an OPC dated 2004 that appears to list all of the options fitted to my car, this list is a lot longer than that listed on the stickers under the frunk and in the service book (both still present and readable).
There are a couple of things listed on the stickers that aren't on the print out (and lots of things on the print out that are not on the stickers) but everything listed from both sources is on the car.
One of the options on the print out is "X50 - Performance Kit for Turbo"
My question, can the print out be trusted? Google suggests I should try to take a look at the intercoolers.
I will be applying for a COA soon and hopefully this will solve things once and for all?
 
Unfortunately the COA can't be trusted either. Mine doesn't mention A/C though my car does have factory fitted A/C.
 
I think it is the case that the sticker under the bonnet/rear lid lists options, not standard features, so it may be the case for instance, that 567 (a standard UK car spec item) would not be listed on a sticker.

I have the equivalent of your "Vehicle Master Print" and it lists far more items than the sticker.

A comparison between the two lists might help better understand the car's total configuration.
 
Have you tried calling Porsche Head Office? When I was purchasing mine I called though and they confirmed the options. This was also verified by my local OPC. Hope this helps. John.

I'll wait for the certificate of production now, I've checked the intercoolers and they're the correct GT2/X50 type.

AS I say, I already have a master print out from an OPC (Glen Edinburgh) from 2004 listing the X50 option. The car has X50 intercoolers fitted, that's easy enough to see now I know what I'm looking at.
CofP is free to Club members so I'll see what that says but I'm not expecting it to be much different from what the dealer supplied in 2004?

A note on stickers, there's at least one person on the internet printing these, so I wouldn't necessarily rely on what they say.
 
The easy way to tell if you have the X50 intercoolers w)which should be listed on the stickers in your service book and under your bonnet) is by putting your hand through the vent holes where you can feel the intercoolers. The bottom of std intercoolers fins are pretty flat with a slight difference in height between fins where as the X50 fins are about 1cm wide and protrude in 1cm steps i.e. up 1cm down 1cm

Thanks Gordon, I’ve established that I have the bigger inter coolers but that they’re not listed on the stickers, only on the vehicle print out from the OPC.
 
Just to close this, got my certificate of production from Reading today, confirms "Performance kit for turbo", which was option code X50.
