Being a 2005 your car may have a non removable IMS bearing. Your wallet and health will both be better off, if you sell it and walk away now.

Sorry for your loss. If you want any possibility of help at all, be nice. You have a car that needs an engine. You're not the first and they've been threatened before. What I'm most surprised about is that of the too many Porsche owner's that have experienced IMS failures that they haven't gotten together and hired an attorney for a class-action suit. The only possibility of change comes from strength in numbers. There are likely thousands of attorney's who own Porsches and don't want to be the next high-and-dry owner with a bad engine. Numbers have strength - You Tube and other threats - not so much. Fix your car and drive it for another 100,000 miles.
