Every Boxster I have owned I had done the IMS because I bough each with an engine or tranny issue. That's about 6 Boxsters and a 996.

My last Boxster is my track car with 100k miles on it. I didn't do the Ims retrofit on it until I was ready to split the tranny and engine apart.
I put 5000 miles, most of that hard high revving track miles.

Didn't want to take the car out of service.

This spring I did do the Ims, but only because I was upgrading the clutch and putting in a Lwfw

I'm a strong believer in the retrofit, but even I was willing to weigh my odds until I was in there anyways.
