Both Pelican and Parts Geek seem to have the same ones labeled as genuine although ill look into the red ones as well. I did thankfully purchase new OE spark plug tubes prior to this job so thats one thing i can cross off too.

yeah they work .. but the old ones took a fair bit of force to pop off.. the beige ones just kind of sit there .. i even thought i had wrong ones but nope, they depend on tensioner to hold them in place. I don't know if anyone else noticed this.
yes your tool will do exactly the same thing. I goggled it after i posted and saw what it was, so good to go.
The Porsche service manual only states to reaplce bolt#2 with microencapsulated bolt, i just used thread sealer and have zero leaks.
