Very nice, specs? Looks like carbon brakes, Turbo S?
She is a 2004 X50 car with PCCB's. Oh, and she is a Tip and has some mods done by "By Design". Fast doesn't begin to describe her.

Are you in the 'quiet corner' of CT (NE CT) ?

Lots of mods by "By Design". Hard to keep my foot out of it, but since the price of 93 octane is getting stupid again, I am going to try like hell not to engage Warp Speed.

Ah, the joys of watching the gas gauge drop in real time! Seems to be an issue with every turbo car!
Do you know if it has the stock k24s or were they upgraded? Bet it pulls hard all the way to redline!
I reached out to Sam and he got back to me very quickly. He remembered the car, as it was one of the first they ever did, but since their move years ago, some records didn't make it. He did say it was a stage 4 car (still trying to find out what that means), but what I know so far is, at the least, she has K24 GT2 hybrid turbos, upgraded injectors, billet diverters, upgraded intercoolers, FabSpeed GT2 Exhaust (Drone, Drone, Drone) and a Promotive tune. From what Sam told me, she was supposed to have some sort of Cobb Turning dongle, but I don't have it. Contacting PO to see if he has it.
Hardly any records conveyed , but I am trying to contact the previous owner before the one that I purchased the car from. I like paperwork !
Hey buddy, it was nice chatting with you and congratulations on the car! She’s a beauty! Looks like it’s got a really nice set up and I remember speaking with the original customer. I have emails from 2015. But that was so long ago and the parts were put on it. Probably a shop local to him so that would be the invoice we are looking for. Otherwise, sounds like she’s solid and I wouldn’t put anything less than 93 octane in there anyhow if it’s available to you. Stage four is basically intercoolers, exhaust filter, IPD, some level of fueling which in this case looks like a five bar regulator. Usually a clutch, which is probably why it lasted so long and our 68 mm turbo upgrade. One of the first we did with Cobb that’s right around when the port came out for this car!

It has the best transmission offered by Porsche, IMO..the tiptronic

Thanks for weighing in Sam, and thanks for the back and forth. The car is a keeper and outside of some maintenance (and maybe an exhaust), I won't be doing anything to it. Already found and filled up on 93 Octane. Damn, that stuff is getting expensive !!
And yes vtec, I love this car AND it's power because it is a Tip. RPM's climb so fast it would be hard to stay on the power and not jump over the redline. With the Tip, no worries.
