I just got back from the shop. I can't believe how bad the IMS bearing was (78,000 miles on a 2000 Boxster S). It was very, very sloppy. I was skeptical about the IMS issue but now I am a believer...mine was in horrible condition. I'll try to get a video of it on youtube and post a link so everyone can see it for themselves. It looks like the one in the LN youtube video. The water pump was also in really bad shape.

Below is a breakdown of the cost involved in this major service. This is the deal that I got through 9 Elf Motorsports in Santa Rosa, CA. I dealt with Michael, and he was great and gave the car a thorough inspection and showed me all the defective parts. Some people might be able to get a better deal on this stuff but please keep it friendly Thanks for everyone's help and recommendations!
