Called Vancouver West Motors again and was told that Boxsters (and boxer engines) air flow runs rich with oil, which is why they tend to burn a lot of it and that if cleaning the MAF sensor didn't work this time, I'd have to consider an engine replacement.

Any ideas? Am not really keen on replacing the engine, but am hoping there's a simpler explanation for this.
These are symptoms of a bad AOS not MAF. I agree with the previous post. These guys are incompetent.
