Update: shop cleared the error codes and car running okay. However, when turn of the engine, limp mode comes back at next start cycle. Shop's computer reads fault code 412 but they couldn't tell me what it means as their 'porsche expert' had to leave!

So, bro took the car home and everything appears to be normal for now. Will check again at next atart cycle.

Still worried about that 412. Any help guys?

Did a bit of research and the same symptoms could mean a dirty throttle body, a replacement throttle body, an oxygen sensor replacement or maf!

Your thoughts, please.
