Easy ways to check:

-Look at the option sticker under the cover in the rear compartment (if it's still there) and see if it has the "E81" option...
-Bring it into Porsche for a brake job estimate. Anything around the $4k area means Turbo S/E81 (or a really shady dealership)...
-Red calipers and Big-@$$ rotors...

My 06 TTS is at about 180k miles, just bit the bullet and bought new rotors. Found a great price at PartsGeek.com, about $600 each for the fronts, so not a bad deal. So anyone else looking for OEM 380mm fronts check them out

My '04 TT is now at 170k miles. Last year winter I replaced valve cover gaskets, PS pump, water pump and thermostat, oil breather membrane, starter and haven't looked back. Needed waterpump; but 'while I was there'...

Cool thread! Any of the OP still on here?

I now have 160k....dragged a car and trailer 400 miles yesterday. The cats and down pipes are shot so I SS welded new down pipes. The electronics on the dash are junk. Engine and drive train still strong

250K going strong

Not sure if this has been posted before, but here is one from a few years ago with 360k miles. Wonder what it's at now.

I replaced the buzzer in my dash, it's about a 15 minute job. You should be able to get new dash electronics pretty cheap from a wreck and swap them in, if you cared.

Nope. All those guys (and the girl) are long gone as far as I can tell. They were characters.

180k on our '06CSTi. Only major work since we bought it is the starter. It had the coolant pipes and driveshaft done previously.

Nearing 300,000 miles here. 3 cross countries on road/off road. Still strong as a tank. Replaced the coolant pipes, alternator, water washer tank, cardan shaft, ignition coils, a couple of batteries and 2 sets of tires. Daily driving of 62 miles a day in snow, rain and high temps. Best bang for the buck.

So a year ago mileage was at 420k. Thoughts on the engine sound for that mileage....
