Out of ideas I went to my local Porsche shop. Turns out I somehow managed to pull out or tear out the knock sensor wiring located right around the starter. I didn't feel it happen but it easily could have happened when I pulled out the old starter or put in the new starter. The starter motor weighs about 15 lbs. and you have to reach in pretty far to mount it with very limited sight of the surrounding area. (still can't find a good picture of where the wiring is located in relation)
Live and learn, I suppose.
