I got my post cat o2 sensor from amazon using the part numbers from mike's website. Much cheaper than from Porsche. The hardest part was getting the old sensor off.

Edit: here is the sensor I got from Amazon, currently priced at $87

I couldn't fit my regular O2 socket in the tight spot so I used this one and it worked like a champ:

Since I got mine, there is a new "low price" type of OE fitment O2 sensor on Amazon:

I probably would have still gotten the Bosch even if this other one had been available but as time goes on and people try this sensor it may become a low cost alternative.
