Things to check for on the engine:
1) the engines have dilivar head studs top and bottom - some are likely to be broken by now or altered enough that they are not providing consistent clamping force (big $$$$ repair).
2) typically, valve guides are in need of replacement much earlier than 95K miles due to the very high head temperatures of the turbo engine - big $$$ repair.
3) turbocharger that has sat idle for a decade will need to be rebuilt sooner rather than later (or replaced with a unit that is actually worthy of the car - the original 3ldz is a joke). Same goes for the a/c compressor since it has sat stationary (seals likely shot, etc).
4) check bottom of oil tank for coked oil particles - common if engine is run with non-synthetic oil and previous owners were not diligent about allowing the turbocharger to cool some prior to shutting the engine off. Coke particles are known to plug the cam spray bars, which results in damage to the cams and rockers since Porsche decided it was a good idea to send oil, which was superheated by the turbocharger's bearing cartridge, directly back to the oil tank, unfiltered.
5) ensure wastegate functions as intended - when they sit, the diaphragm degrades, and corrosion can cause the valve to stick to the seat/guide.
Fuel injection system - fuel head, injectors, lines, hoses and control pressure regulator (also known as the warm up regulator or WUR), will need work since they have sat with old fuel in them.
