Is it a whine or more of a groan? The PS issue makes a whine IIRC. A groan may be a wheel bearing that is getting loaded a certain way making this noise. It can also be the rear open differential bearing. Their have been a few cases of those getting pits in themn and making noises. Under load those difs will load differently than in a coast. If so that is a fairly easy fix. I would imagine a low fluid level issue would result in other dry bearing noises all the time.

It would be great if that was only a power steering pump issue.
Today I was on the phone with one porsche specialist and he suspected flywheel on the way out but he has not seen the car so far, only my description of the problem over the phone.
When you guys had this steering pump problem was the noise loud? I feel that in high gear at low speed the whine is louder than the whole engine!

I would be VERY suspicious of a 'specialist' that is throwing out a flywheel diagnosis based on a phone call description.
Beware of predators that 'groom' and 'test' their victims...they toss out some technical doublespeak, and if you don't react they figure they have a live one to bill like crazy.
Just saying....
