Bosch FR6LDC is the right plug. Porsche used in the first Turbo's the Beru FR5 and later replaced under warranty for Beru FR6's which are equivalent to the Bosch but the later is known as being alot better and handle better the BMEP (brake mean effective pressure).

Standard plug is the Beru, I'm sure they used to run a different heat range and this was eventually upgraded, It does performs ok but the Bosch FR6 is a better/longer performance plug.

It's actually very easy! (only if you have correct tools to do it)

First time it taken me roughly 4 hours, the second time was just over 2.

I have run a gt2 on standard plugs for the 24k service interval with almost 600bhp and no probs on plugs ....
