The Plasma Direct will increase horsepower and torque throughout the entire RPM range, as well as reducing fuel consumption. Even engines with legendary smoothness will be further refined with the Plasma Direct upgrade. Plasma Direct coils are OBD II compliant. ..."

Good stuff (i mean technically, not talking about value for money)?
$1500 for coil packs. Yeah, right

Pelican sells two replacement Beru coils:

996-602-101-01-INT $40
997-602-107-02-M47 $38

Porsche Boxster (1997-2004) - Ignition - Page 2

The latter notes: New style coil. Longer hold down bolts are included.

Has anyone tried these? Any problem with the apparently bigger size?
Any performance / longevity etc improvement with the newer style coil?
