Any Jacksonville Porsche owners know a reliable and reasonable AC shop? Blows ambient temp air. Charged it, but no go...

More than likely the foam has left your heater box. I just replaced the foam in mine. Without the foam, a good portion of the cold air from the AC evaporator runs through the heater core. The heater core always has hot coolant running though it when the engine is running so you get lukewarm AC.
After replacing the foam in mine it was apparent that a partial fix is possible by removing the heater core and putting foam (or perhaps easier, aluminum AC tape) on the heater door to cover the holes in the door you can see. Depending on how good a job you can do covering the holes that's at best about an 85% solution as you likely wont get a complete seal. Additionally there is another door that is not visible with the heater core out. This door's job is to shut off all the cabin vents to direct air to the defrost or foot well vents. You can just close all the manual vents on the dash to do this if you want more defrost and less air in your face.
Or, you can opt to remove then entire dashboard and pull and disassemble the heater box.
