Perhaps, but it would look Ghetto since they have the mounting bosses.
I will go ahead and share my metod for mounting the Boxster coils, so someone else can try it. Since the Denso coils are the way I am going to go, someone else more motivated should try it.
1. As you will recall, the section of the valve cover that the plug sits in is dry (e.g. not bathed in oil). Thus, use a Beru (Boxster) coil as your template for placing the coil on the valve cover, turning it to line up the holes so that the bosses line up within the "dry" area of the valve cover.
DO NOT set the alignment so the holes line up over the oil bathed part of the cover!
2. Use a machinist's spring loaded punch to mark the hole centers on the valve cover.
3. Get a riv-nut gun and the proper sized riv-nuts for the coil mounting bosses:
4. Drill the valve covers to fit the riv-nuts, then use the riv-nut gun to set the riv-nuts. This is how they work:
5. Voila, perfect mounting points for Beru coils.
