you understand any State smog related testing that will have to be done on the car lest you do something that they not like.

Lets go back to your original question. Those O2 sensors posted are generic ones without the Porsche wiring pigtails crimped on at the factory. Some have used them successfully, lots more have had no luck at all using them.

My web site has a cross reference of the OEM maker of the sensors Porsche buys with Bosch part numbers so you can buy at mail order prices. Not as low as the Walker brand ones but they do have pigtails and they give off the signal the ECU expects so we know they work (I have 2 in my car right now).
