Kind of early replacing coils but since you are doing plugs too then why not. It should take around no more than 3 hours, most likely 2, total for a Porsche mechanic to do the plugs, coil, and diverter valves.

lol 4-5 hours ?

remove the rear bumper .. i think its 4 or 6 bolts

remove both intercoolers
that about 5 minutes for each side

removing and replacing each spark plug with proper torque is about 2 minutes per plug

its about 45-50 minutes for the plug job
15 minutes for the diverter valves
and another 15 minutes for the coil packs


clean off the intercoolers
put everything back on

remove car from lift/ jack

and youre all done

iirc the rear bumper is much more then 4-6 bolts...the top strip on top of the bumper is at least 3 bolts...and the fender liners have at least 3-4 bolts each...

And don't forget to plug the wiring harness for the license plate light back in when you put the bumper back on. Ask me how I know.
