So..........................

I finally had to throw in the towel (ran out of time and patience).
Took the car to the shop (indy) and as was divulged to me upon purchase, the motor is bad.
More specifically, the IMS shaft is bad, the bank two intake cam was not spinning due to the sproket spinning on the shaft and was why the codes for misfire were being thrown.

Looks like I'm going to buy a used motor, replace the bearing and call it a day.

Was hoping the PO was wrong, but apparently not and it's time to pony up. Going to call Porsche since I can't get docs from the PO and see if it was diagnosed before the time frame for the CA suit was up, see if I can get reimbursed under the suit. The car sat after being diagnosed and was done so within 10 years and 130k miles. We'll see...........
