Your situation sucks. I feel sorry for you. I think you have a quack mechanic. I am a firm believer that "quality never cost more" and "poor quality will cost you more"!
I think when you started this thread, you should have taken your car to a quality repair facility, like one of the multiple Porsche dealers in your great state of New Jersey.
Part of your "costs" the past 6 weeks have been:
frustration
your valuable time
lack of driving your new car
possibly a more expensive repair bill due to waiting
...just to name a few.
Next time don't let your freaking cousin drive your car. Have him practive on another family members car.
Have you asked him to cough-up $4,500 yet?....this is his share of the bill!
