How well do you know the mechanic? Does the mechanic really know Boxsters/Porsches specifically?

I would stick the camera down the intake as far as you can. And also pull all six plugs and stick the camera in each of the cylinders. You can turn it over by hand and look for the damage. You can also pull the sump plate and take a look at the filter and oil while your at it. This should answer most of the questions.

If the engine is toast, for whatever reason, you don't need to pull the engine until you decide on what you are going to do to fix it. And where the cash is coming from to pay for it.

If the mechanic pulls the engine, and you need time to find parts, engine, etc. you might be on the hook for storage fees also.

Any chance of a picture of the debris that was pulled out of the intake?

Best of luck to you and the Box.
