Welcome (back)! Always great to hear from a serial Boxster owner.

The best hedge against an IMS problem is to install the IMS Guardian or replace it with a more reliable bearing.

Otherwise, be absolutely sure that the warranty will cover the IMS bearing (among other things). Aftermarket warranty companies are notorious for finding ways not to pay out (read the fine print!) - especially when you submit an $18,000 claim for a new factory crate engine.
