In order to replace your IMS bearing, only transmission needs to be removed. Engine stays in the car.
Boxsters are known for lots of issues, so if your engine has been well maintained and it's in good condition it's worth it to change it.
Labor shouldn't be more than $2000 USD (that's what we charge here in US) plus the bearing of your choice. If your engine has noises, leaks, etc... it most likely will fail anyway, so no point on spending $ on IMS.
Removing engine and transmission to replace IMS sounds expensive, maybe they haven't done this before, and could potentially mess things up.
Remember, proper installation is the most crucial step. If they don't do it right, you will end up with engine damage and costly repair.
We know a shop in Ontario called Hunter Motorsports. Give them a call and see if they can help you, we have worked with them in the past. Brent is the owner, so ask for him.
Hopefully this helps...Good luck!
