If he was trying to help the public and existing owners he should've made mention of fixes that have been available for the IMS issue for some time now.

If this is the first you're hearing of this issue you probably come away thinking that the IMS is a terminal disease.

Excellence probably should have blasted Porsche but at least they have covered the work by Jake Raby at Flat6, LNE and others extensively. And that's far more useful to the next owner or an existing one since its points toward the direction of preventing a huge expense.

it almost seem to me like the author intentionally left out the bearing upgrade options or the direct oil feed to heighten the drama.
