No, I am not the original owner, but I have the original window sticker and options list that came with the car when it was purchased new.
The X-50 pkg is on the list and on the window sticker, but not on the sticker under the trunk.
I've head of this with other X-50 owners as well.

Odd. If it's a factory option, why would it NOT be on the sticker? Seems someone along the way, like the ORIGINAL owner, would've questioned that when bought new or everyone after that, especially if it was sold and advertised as an X50 car?

Hello Guys,
I really need help i would like to know if my 996 turbo is a x-50 or a standard 996, how can i know? the car is a 2004, the tips are x-50 style it came from the dealer like this. Performance wise now in the summer in Kuwait "Desert climate it hits .8bar and after i reach 300km/h and hit the gas again it hits 0.9bar with a steady 0.8 it was around 36 degrees celcius. In winter when its below 20 degree it hits 1.0 bar. this performance figures confused me because reviews say it only hits .7, people told me if i lift the car on and look at the turbos it will show thats written K-24? is this real? i really need help regarding this issue because i want to get a re-flash so i must tell the dealer about my turbos to get the right tune. i will really appreciate your help. THANKS

The document they send you is very nice and suitable for framing if you are so inclined.

The hood sticker,,,and look closely at the inner coolers thru the rear vent because they are slightly different.
