2003 Boxster Engine Blew Up

You'd know if your engine blew up. Doesn't sound like it to me.

Get it checked out, it might be repairable for a fraction of what you'd think it would cost.

I also wonder if it was a catastrophic failure or the Air Oil Seperator (AOS). A porsche experienced mechanic needs to look at that engine.

I was thinking aos failure as well. And that will cost your around $500. Take it to a Porsche specialist!

Ask the mechanic if he found metal in the filter and oil sump. If it's free of debris, then the failure may not be catastrophic. If there's hope, take it to a top notch Porsche mechanic and spend an hour or two in labor for a deeper look. As someone said, an AOS failure can look terrible as smoke pours out of the exhaust. Maybe you'll just get lucky.
