If you have an 01 and are changing coils/plugs, be sure to check for FR5 vs FR6 plugs while you're in there.

Lastly I prefer the Bosch branding vs the Beru.
I agree with Kevin on this. The shops in my area are coming across coil failures with the new Beru 997 coils. Especially in Boxsters and Caymans.

Try Bosch coils.

Its not a big deal to fix but is something to keep your eye on. The coilpacks from EVOMS are pretty hot im told.
You probably figured this out on your own but a little grease on those O-ring helps them stay seated during assembly.
