Throttle body was just a bit dirty and have been clean. MAF was looking like new. No dirt at all but I still spray it with MAF cleaning product, let dry and reinstall.

I had a very good Porsche specialist near and never had a problem. Now that I move 300km from him, problem start I dont know any mecanic around, no porsche stealer and shipping for parts take long or cost crazy for fast shipping.

well, now... do I shoot in the air hoping to get it right (like changing fuel filter, spark plug and other small stuff like this) or is there a better way to diagnose the problem, keeping in mind that I'm far from being talented in mecanic.

thanks

Not sure if you ruled out the maf yet but, try disconnecting the maf and driving it short trip. If it still exists then maf is ruled out. I replaced my maf and all is well - had the same issue.

I will try the MAF disconnecting tonight

I had to drive it again this morning and everything look fine as long as I was driving like my grand-mother. I connect the code scanner when I arrive at home, P0507 is not there anymore (idle was good, so its normal) but P1126 was still pending, yet no CEL.
