I can't speak for porsches specifically, but i know the rotor is ok if it is still in spec once it has been turned. If its not in spec i think it just won't disipate heat as well and be more likey to warping again.

I already bought a new one, $45 is affordable and if the old one can be turned it will go in the spare parts box. Caliper must be sticking.

Check your rubber brake hoses carefully... old tired rubber hoses (they turn into mush inside) are a likely cause of warped rotors in these cars. It is very common and can lead to wheel fires which will burn up all gaskets, seals etc and leave you trying to put the fire out with road gravel ( Do you have a fire extinguisher onboard?)
