If you decide to replace the engine

Why replace it? it with a new one? I don't know what the relative prices are over there but a used replacement engine for your car in the US is probably 3-5k USD.

Also, there must be other Porsche mechanics that don't work for the dealer. I would get a second opinion before making a decision. Replacing the engine doesn't require any appreciable Porsche-specific knowledge so it doesn't have to be done by the dealer.
