What's the worst damage a blown fuel pump can do?

well, lemonade out of lemons. as a 2005, your car should be able to take any 997 or 987/cayman engine up to 2009, so look at it as an opportunity to get a 3.4, 3.6 or even 3.8 in there for less than the cost to rebuild your current engine (if it needs rebuilding).

once you've disentangled yourself from the current shop, perhaps let us know who it was so as to facilitate some caveat emptor.
