I purchased the BMW one, but it has the Porsche part number on it. It was 66 bucks shipped.

You could also just look up your vehicle on the Bosch Cross Reference site and get the number they suggest-------0.261.210.003 (.002)
These are available for about $66

An additional note: I have seen some vendors sell a 944 cross reference sensor with out the silver sheild on the end. Black plastic top to bottom. I do not suggest using these because your (turbo) starter may "cause magnetic interference from the starter during cranking---hard starting"

Cocacolakid: how did you find out about these guys?? This place is 5 minsuets from my house, and could be my personal walk in and shop store. I ordered the sensors from them, expecting them to get here 4-5 days later, 2 days later (1 buisiness day) I got the sensors, and see that they are in Doylestown (very next town over).

I was doing a web search for prices on cross-reference parts for our 944's and found them. Theu seem to know what they are doing and have slightly and some times much less on prices. The correct sensors cross-reference to the Bummers (ha ha).
