What happend to you (and Jakes printout confirms) is why Porsche do not use the M96/97 engine in their serious performance or race cars. Especially without some major internal upgrades
The engines in the 911 Turbo / GT2 / GT3 are completely different to the M96/97 series Boxster / Carrera cars, being genuine dry sumped 70 series engines, originally from the GT1 racecar.
