is this worth replacing as a single job now or should I wait til I need something else done that requires the "surgery" ?

what other service would make this an easier job?

 

be sure to get rid of the stock plugs...i upgraded about 200 miles ago, sorry but can not remember the part no. but do not use the stock 01 plugs me thinks porsche changed in 02.

 

Get the heat range plugs..probably best to do it at the 15K or 30K.

 

Is there really a difference between the Berus and the Bosch 6's?

 

yep rob at scargo sez so alex also and even my service mgr at neillo porsche

 

berus do not hold boost well. Evoms and other in the business recommend the bosch dlu fr6 plug... Berus fowl faster.

 

If i am going stage II, will I require to change spark plugs? (my car is 8600 miles, 01 TT)

Thanks

 

Yes David,
because they are the stock #5 (cold) plugs which now
if you go to the dealer they supply you with the #6.
As soon as you hit your first "higher boost" with stage
2, your car will miss and you will need hotter plugs.
MK. So what the dealer supplies will work (#6 Beru's),
or the Bosch's that the Experts like (also #6)
mk

 

just a quick tip: when replacing spark plugs, remove the bumper and intercoolers.

it's a simple job that any person with some technical sense can do, and it gives you ample access to the plugs.

 

definitely replace. The boost in my car came on so much smoother once I changed to the "6's". I did it at 20k.

 

Very good information as i have been looking on this matter for some time.
Thanks for bringing this subject up KJM3SMG .

 

thanks all, trying to get plugs that will match something in some Stage II package in the future..

np Q8_TwinTurbo, ya gonna try to tackle this install yourself? I'm thinking about it after a successful brake rotors/pads install last night.

 

KJ make sure you figure out how to do it so when I get home in July you can help me do mine.

 

definitely Gunther :-)

 

KJ,
I guess after having to wait for so long for my car to complete it's final mod, i guess i wouldn't want things to go wrong. I will have the mechanic do it. Since the engine is out of the car.
