Rep Power: 185 I just got them. They look oem and I'm sure they'll fit but I'm not gonna have time to work on the car today.
the part number on them is 997.602.102.00 and 0 040 100 021
The ones on my car say 996.602.102.00.

Woodster wants my avatar it seems.
I am concerned about the source of "cheap" superspecialized parts.....we're not talking seat covers or floor mats.....I don't want to risk my engine for a few dollars.... The vendors here can likely get stock parts at very good pricing and you will be guaranteed authenticity and "newness." Now, Evoms or BBI are fine, and I really like the idea of more power...but the price is a bit steep for my meager needs (on track I find 500+ HP more than enough....reliability rules for me...and my skill set is not up to more than 650HP to be honest....I am just not a Mikelly or Tom Kerr yet).

I had a full interogation of my car via PIWI today and everything was good. The tech told me that he'd be able to tell cylinder by cylinder.....
Not sure if I believe that, but it is nice to know all is well. He did say that if one goes bad, one is usually best off doing them all....otherwise, he advocated just leaving them alone.

Denso Irdium at whatever they came gaped as. I did start getting a #4 cylinder missfire, so I gotta tear into it again.
