I can tell the the cheap 02 sensors and Porsches DO NOT MIX.

I tried twice.

First the $25 wire-your-own versions - JUNK! Chased codes forever. Porsched mechanic laughed that I even tried them. Good news is I received 100% refund.

Next up, the $79 OEM with matching connectors, these also online where "WE BEAT ANYONE'S PRICE" so they lowered their $109 down to $79. Well, JUNK AS WELL! Again, Porsche mechanic laughed. Again, good news, received a full refund.

Finally, the Bosche sensors worked perfect @ $129 ea.

A whole lotta messing around for nothing -- other than I can change 4 sensors in under 15 minutes now. God knows I've had the practice!
