I didn't get either one! That's interesting to me because I've purchased two cars from Porsche dealerships in the past (Cayenne S and 997 turbo). I'm currently looking at 991 turbos, so you'd think I would be on their marketing target list.

4 Cars purchased from 3 Porsche dealers in 3 years.......1 new, 2-CPO, 1 non-CPO
Only 1 turbo out of the 4; guess that does not put my on the shortlist.

I bought my turbo from a private party so that isn't the case.

I just recently purchased another vehicle from a dealership out of state (CPO) and i received the book before that deal went through so not sure how this all works... be very interesting to know.

I'm on my 2nd turbo but bought both used from non Porsche dealers & like I posted ,I got both the book & the turbo model,but I'm thinking that I do remember going to the LA Auto show this year & visiting the Porsche booth & they asked if I wanted them to send me some info on the new turbo ,so maybe that's where the list originates .

I got the cutaway thingie. It isn't a real VTG though. Nifty enough. The book is also nice. Maybe I'll go drive one

For a second, when I opened the box and saw a vtg part, I thought there is some VTG upgrade that they released
