I guess I'm a little confused Jax. You recommend and defend Bosch, but you replaced with the OEM Beru plugs??? Pick one....

I went with Beru. They're a pretty fancy plug with 4 grounding prongs per plug. I think you get what you pay for to an extent.

No problem. I've owned my Boxster for a year and when I first got my hands on it I did a through "Acceptance" inspection. That included a full tune-up, oil change and brake job. At the time I didn't know much about Porsche's so I ordered a set of OEM Beru's, when I received them I didn't notice much difference over Bosch. I have Bosch in all my toys and have never regretted them once, Champion plugs on the other hand...now they suck!

So with that being said you asked me to pick one...well with all things being equal I would save a couple of bucks and go with Bosch.
