Caliper color questions

I was wondering if a TT has yellow calipers, is it equipped with x50 or could the owner just added PCCB to a reg TT? Also how could I tell the difference between a reg TT and a TT with X50?Just trying to improve my TT product knowledge.

the only visible difference between the non-X50 and X50 TT is the owner having or not having $17K in their pocket. With the '04 model (or are they '05s?), the X50 picks up a turboS designation.

The Turbo S will be a 2005 model

Yellow calipers can be a car equipped with PCCB or just optional painted calipers on steel brakes.

sorry for the ignorance, but I've heard people use PCCB before, what does that mean?

PCCB is an acronym for (Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes).

1) The yellow calipers could be painted stock calipers, aftermarket painted calipers, or PCCB calipers.

2) Not necessarily

3) Yes you can add PCCB's to a C4S or TT

4) Under the trunk on the option sticker there will be a X50 on the options list.
