Answers are coming in.....
That is the piece that's broken along with the hose that comes off the top of the oil cooler.
The coolant fitting in this case broke as it was probably the weakest link once the pressure became too high because the water pump was not working since the alternator pulley sheared off.
I have yet to have someone tell me they have heard of an alternator pulley shearing off.

Looking for the same piece that failed on my car. Went to Brumos Porsche looking for it. The parts guy went to get one for me for free from the shop. The mechanic came out, pulled me aside and softly said that that part is a pos and to go to Napa and buy a copper jointer and that I didnt here it from him. I suggest maybe doing the same. That is the only non oem part I have ever bought and I have bought alot as you can imagine buying a car with 88,000 on the clock. Present mileage 136,000 plus. Good luck

Did the alternator shear off -- or bolt back out?
I have seen the water pump shear off, and I have seen an idler pulley shear off twice.
No reason to believe an alternator couldn't
It's possible that the belt replaced was too small. We believe this was the cause of both idler pulley shears. I don't remember if the belt was the same brand or not.

I sell used alternators for $50 plus shipping. I haven't seen that hose connection fail too much but I don't think there's anything wrong with going to the hardware store and getting a copper joint like was suggested by Craig. Like it was said earlier. get those pieces fixed first and then see if you've done any damage.

Replaced the bleeder valve today, filled it with distilled water, burped it, and drove it like I stole it for a bit.
No leaks, no temperature issues.
I may have dodged a bullet here.
Thanks for the help and encouragement.
I'm new to the world of Pcars.
I think the problem is solved.
Tomorrow I'll pour in the unicorn tears.
I LOVE my Boxster.

Great to hear! Enjoy. It feels better when you fix it yourself.
