Leading evidence: 'Check pressures' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check pressures' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Inspect front condensers, they are usually the first item

Suggestion
If you lose refrigerant quickly, I would pull the bumper and inspect both front condensers, they are usually the first item to leak as they are right out front taking all the abuse.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Got an interesting one for you guys. Took the car out to lunch and no a/c. Compressor comes on just fine. Got home and put some gauges on it. Static pressure is 65psi which seems about right for the temps. When the compressor is turned on, the low side drops to 30psi, but the high side doesnt budge.
Not sure wher you live but unless its below 70 degree outside your static pressure is low. If you have the ability, i would pull the freon and see how much is actually in the system.
Well then that temp matches static. However static pressure only tells you very limited info. If you had a 1/4 of a pound or 5 pounds of freon static will be very close to the same pressure. Then if your high side isnt moving i would be concerned of possibly low freon or a compressor that isn't building pressure.
If you need to replace the compressor go to Rockauto.com. They have the exact same Denso compressor that Porsche charges about $1,800 for and they charge about $289 as I remember. I replaced mine 2-3 years ago and the one from Rock was the exact same denso unit.
Start by evacuating the system and see how much refrigerant is recovered. Static pressures are a very unreliable indicator of charge state. Have the system recharged and check pressures. If they are good and system is cooling properly have some flourescent oil dye injected. If you lose refrigerant quickly, I would pull the bumper and inspect both front condensers, they are usually the first item to leak as they are right out front taking all the abuse.
At the lowest setting, mine cranks out 42 degree air (to be fair, that's inside a garage, not sitting outside in 786 degree Florida weather). Keeping things frosty is good here in SoFla
