The car is back. Variocams and AOS replaced.
Long story short: No change at all in power. Garage reports it drives as well as any 986 S does at 7200ft and to stop worrying.
I guess I was wrong. It turns out that the failing variocam was still performing adequately at the time and not a single thing I did, including the secondary cat delete, has made any difference in that respect.
I did discover something interesting about the oil pressure sensor from the shop. I will post that separately.
It will be a few months until my play-car budget recovers after the expensive repair, but I might get the injectors cleaned and replace the engine and transmission mounts next. I might also try the reduction pulley trick and see if that makes any difference in reality.
Now I will just drive the car since the weather is improving.
