After finishing the top I started the car and lots of smoke billowed out, more than I had before and constant with no let up. I shut the car off and decided to walk away for a bit. My question is; How likely is a failure of the new AOS that quickly? I bought the part from E-bay but it was supposed to be Porsche oem. Has anybody had a similiar experience or any advice as I go in for a second look. Any help is appreciated.

A more common issue than you might imagine. I would bet the flea bay "OEM" unit was actually aftermarket, which has very high incidents of quick failures,
