My Boxster had a starter with probably a gummed up solenoid/starter drive that would make a screeching sound on start up sometimes, especially when cold. Basically, it doesn't disengage from the ring gear quick enough when the engine fires, so spins for a split second at a zillion rpm.
Probably could have cleaned up the old starter, but decided to just put a new one in while everything was apart.
