That being said, yes, the SIX CYLINDER Boxster uses SIX plugs.
964 and 993 motors had twin plug engines - 12 plugs.

Many folks modify Aircooled Porsche 6-cyl motors to be twin plug designs.


Your boxster only needs 6 plugs. If you are adventurous and want to save some money and learn a new skill, replace them yourself. If not, a dealer will be happy to help you out.
