Spark plug ?'s
 
I just purchase a complete set of Denso Iridium Power spark plugs (IK20 5304) for my Boxster S. Doing some research on spark plugs I became kinda worried when when I found out that some spark plugs melt do to the power and heat generated by the engine. These plugs have a 5K Monolithic Resistor but Porsche recommends 7k or so with their (FRG6KQC). :confused:

Kinda confused and worried now since I already purchase these plugs, wondering if anyone has any advise or has used these plugs on their Porchse without any problems?

Thanks!

I used iridiums in my non-S boxster for about 2 months and they were ok, i changed them to a copper type bosch plug and the idle and acceration are smoother and more consistent than the iridium.... plus i have peice of mind that the electrode wont break off and damage my cyclindar walls or valves.

Go stock..."Upgrading" to a different type of plug can/will affect the car. The Boxster seems very sensitive to non OEM parts. Sometimes its best to stick with what you know works! :cheers:
