intercoolers should look like this...........and the hood doesnt always have it listed but the dealer will know when they pull the car up on the computer.

02-04 X50 was an option.

in '05 they made any car with the equivalent option an "S"

grinding out that last dollar from the customer

the "S" is the last batch of the model

example

993 turbo
993 turbo S were last 993 turbos
996 turbo
996 turbo S
997 turbo
at the end of the 997 turbo the S will come out
Cayenne turbo
Cayenne turbo S

This tactic is known in some circle as "sqeezing the S out of it"

I thought the easiest way to tell was if it had X-50 exhaust tips or not...

You can order x50 tips as an option and not have the x50 package.

This is a 997TT intercooler, but you get the idea with the protruding fins.
