I counted 43 listed engine failures on another forum. While many weren't diagnosed because of the cost of teardowns they displayed they same characteristics of an IMS failure...

I really like the Boxster and if I do get one this fall I see a IMS guardian or upgraded bearing as part of the cost.
Remember that there have been over 200,000 Boxsters sold...
