other common fixes:
MAF
AOS
water pump (did they do only your thermostat?)
coolant tank
control arms

some repairs that may be lurking:
shocks (did mine at 69K)
rotors
catalytic converters (did not last 70K miles for me)
wheel bearings
motor mounts

and a few odds and ends: starter, alternator, 02 sensor, key fob alarm

ask me how I know all this. save your $2K a year maintenance fund like a good boy.
Porsche maintenance is like owing to the IRS.... penalties and interest simply accrue with time.
