The installer doesn't know Porsches like he says he does.
See Jake's post of yesterday where he says the only way the car got a second-gen IMS engine was if someone somewhere someone had squirreled away a engine for several years as all the engines even for several years prior to when yours was done were third generation IMS setups.
And they didn't tend to sit around as they were used as replacements pretty quickly. No one wants an inventory of $10k+ engines sitting around. And I recall that even the US Porsche distributor usually had about 10 several years ago so they were moving them out at a pretty good clip.
Jake knows, he is inside these engines more than anyone around. He has seen all the surprises.
