Looking for a Bay Area (Ca) Porsche Shop that can Change my Plugs
Talked to Sharkwerks and they are booked up for a while. Not sure if I can wait another 2 weeks with the check engine light on and not boosting the car.
Is there another reputable Porsche Shop in the area that can change my sparkplugs without charging an arm and a leg? Thanks

My experience with the $stealership is they wouldn't install any plug other than Beru's and they are to expensive.
With a CEL, and it not boosting...sounds alot like you have joined the MAF club. You may consider buying a testing software like Durametic, see what the code is, and fix it yourself. MAF's on Ebay are $225, at the dealer they are $613.53. It's two screws and your done..but it doesn't sound like plugs to me.
Good Luck.
