I was told the way to spot an N26 was the electric boost solenoid on top of the turbo.
So I got to do the install and the first sensor I am supposed to tap is not there. I take a few pics, figure I would send them to BMS. I looked at the pics and thought man, that is what the N26 solenoid is supposed to look like. WTF, do I have an N26?
Sure enough, Terry confirmed.
I either have an N26, or in my later production run of 7/12, they began using the N26 electronic solenoid on the N20.
When I looked up my VIN, it clearly states N20.
For those who don't know what to look for, see this pic, this is what your turbo will look like if you have the solenoid. If your VIN comes up N26, that's to be expected, but if you have an N20, then it might be interesting to share your build date.

So I just checked my car and I found the same thing! My vin says n20 I ordered at late 6/12 so I guess it would be the around the same production time as yours(7/12).
