Actually your power goals are exactly what I am aiming for which is very reasonable I would say.
Well I dunno what I can help with bro but anything I can do to assist let me know. I do all my own work on my car but I've never done any of the internal engine stuff, just other routine maintenance. Hopefully a few others will chime in as well once you find out the deal from the shop.

Aw man, really sorry to hear. I actually saw your car when I visited IMA a couple of weeks ago. Looked fine to me, albeit dusty! 
Seriously though, you'll be OK. Take a few deep breaths. The problem will not be outrageously expensive to fix since you're by-and-large dealing with stock parts. Chances are you just threw a bearing. No biggie -- now's the opportunity to replace 'em and have a newer, bulletproof-er 951!
When I get back in town in a couple weeks I'd be happy to meet up. You can drive my car if you want to feel ~330rwhp. Vitesse St. 3 @ 16lbs.

I think a dude named Chris on here had a simular issue, he had 39k or something miles and started modding it and he had an engine failure and went to a 3ltr... I dunno any who. Hopefully nothing major, vibrations is better than a swack and then nothing, I would hope.
Ironically I'm waiting for OD to show up... I feel his presence...the dark force

he spent like 20k in maintenance(not a rebuild from what I see on the bill) like clutch, belts gaskets and such at a shop and I assume he was just getting his new turbo/m_tune and goodies installed.
If I would have know I would have rather had him drop the car off here and I would have done most of it, from the looks of it there was like 9k in labor.
