GmanB Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 I have Bosch plugs on mine (£30 from ebay), no problems. Considerably cheaper than Beru, that appear to be over £60 (again on ebay). What price are they on ECP? Here's an ebay link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-OE-BOSCH-0242240587-FGR6KQE-SUPER-Spark-Plug-6-Pack-Replaces-242240578/361852493347 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXY Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 I used BERU on Mr. BOX back in the day. Coil packs will be BERU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulQ Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Think I used NGK as less then a couple of quid each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edc Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 I don't think it matters whether you get Bosch Beru or NGK. They are all quality parts. I did use Denso Iridium's on my last Boxster but that was done ahead of a remap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, My local and HIGHLY RESPECTED indie said not to use NGK under any circumstances, was via text message so he didn't elaborate as to why.

NGK in mine 3 years now.Cost is more about the specific plug rather than the brand,They do cheap ones but they don’t need changing very often.

Felt like some power was missing and when hot, the engine idled pretty rough on occasion. Then purchased the NGK BKR6EQUP (Platinum) and the car works now like a dream and the CO2 levels dropped (from 0,42% to 0,08%) as measured at MOT station. After swapping the plugs to NGK, I could not see anything visually wrong / badly burned fuel on the Bosh plugs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most plugs say they come pre-gapped but I've found some variations in gap and across a few brands. Always worth checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you've not price compared iridium plugs Gotta laugh at the Porsche not running on Bosch plugs Does make you wonder how many other Porsches, including the new cars from the factory with power missing AND rough idling, on occasion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
