When driven hard, the engine lets out a smoke screen, changed oil air separator as advised by Porsche specialist, still does it any advice.. apart from redlining it.

Probably just some residual oil needs cleaning through.

I had this once with my Cayman R when the car was parked on a rearwards facing slope (due the positioning of the piston rings allowing some oil into the top-end ?? Once only) ... and then with a '73 2.4S before the engine had been properly run-in ... it's just a theory !!

Was the replacement an OEM part? If not, change it again. While you’re at it check the crankcase hoses. Even with a little bit of oil in the crankcase, it shouldn’t blow that much smoke that it is visible.

How's your oil level?

My 986 did this, changed the AOS, still did it. Dropped around a litre of oil out of it and it's been fine since. You will have a lot of oil sat in the plenum pipework so worth removing and cleaning out.
