I have decided not to gamble and to get the IMS done. I hate driving a ticking time bomb. There is no guarantee with a new IMS it won't fail, but I think I reduce my chances by a lot.
My Indy estimates a 30% failure rate for my year Boxsters.
Where in the Wild World of Sports did your Indy come up with that statistic???
