You didn't really put Motomaster coolant in your Porsche, did you? You have to use Porsche coolant, and you have to dilute it 50/50 with DISTILLED water before putting it in!

There's a pretty good chance you've made a real mess of things and will now have to get a complete coolant flush done in addition to changing the coolant tank. You should definitely not drive the car until you have determined whether or not you have created a coolant gelling problem.

Sorry, but you really don't seem to have the faintest clue as to what you are doing and should really get the car to a qualified mechanic to fix this problem for you before you do some serious damage.
