I suppose I just learned a ridiculously expensive lesson since I basically now have to sell the car since it put me way in the hole.

If the extra $1300 in repairs forces you to sell the car, then you likely should not have purchased a used Porsche in the first place. Twelve-year old German sports cars can get expensive. Based on your post, the indy charges $120 hour in labor. What does your local dealership charge?
It seems he only had your car for 24 hours. How was the original estimate done...did he look at the car? Did you verbally describe what you thought needed to be done, and he gave you a price?
If the indy inspected the car and gave you the original estimate, you could go back and explain your concerns, and maybe ask for a few hundred dollars in labor credit for your next visit (maybe an oil change?). He might want to give you a break based on his continued business with the local PCA members.
