Time to enjoy the car again and see how the new Soul OAP's sound with a new Cargraphic Valve controller installed!
Good news and sounds like they did what they needed to in order to make you happy for all the inconvenience. Fingers crossed for no more trips to the dealer!

The exact same thing just happened to me. My car has been at the dealer for 2 months due to misfires on 4 and 6. They tried everything and finally gave up and said I need a new engine. My car only has 900 miles on it. So frustrating. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it or ask Porsche to buy it back from me. @jd-woodlands how have things been since the swap? Thanks.

It has been rock solid since the engine swap, not one issue since. Clocked about 5k miles on the new engine.

Make sure you make Porsche NA aware, you should be able to get some compensation for your troubles. I was happy with the result at the end of the day and took a little sting out of paying MSRP.
