Two people on here charge $2500 for ims upgrade and they also do some clutch work in that price. Personally I think the IMS thing has gotten a little overblown, albeit it is a serious issue as it will cost you from $10k to $20k (depending on which engine you upgrade to). I have heard 1-5% failure and some estimate as high as 12%. I have heard some people on here have gotten the IMS replaced for under $1000. Fortunately the cost of used boxsters are cheap and pretty much afford you the savings to have the work done. I consider ims upgrade as an insurance policy. I am still thinking it over and will probably make a decision in the spring.
