There are 3 check valves coming off the plenum clean them out.

Sounds like you've found the problem.
Also, for future reference, you can just unbolt the AC compressor and leave all that in the car (literally leave it in the engine bay with something holding it), that way you don't have to discharge and then re-charge the AC system. Just makes everything go a bit smoother and quicker.

The built in valve on the plenum is busted.

Never got a straight answer to this.
I believe my check valve that is built into the top of the plenum is busted.
Is the valve available separately or is it integral to the plenum that I need to replace the whole thing?

its plastic and molded to the plenum. if its broken it has to be replaced
Thanks guys. I'm going to try an unorthodoxed strategy and just add another check valve inline. The IPD plenum has its checkvalve external to the plenum. No reason this shouldn't work for the stock plenum.
Not trying to be cheap, but I've heard mixed messages about the IPD plenum, and how porsches straight plenum is designed as such and tuned for harmonics between the two banks. The unreliable integral checkvalve is a short sighted design flaw in the OEM part.
