Porsche should have used an oil-fed plain journal bearing here in its design of the IMSB IMHO. Since NeWArt now has an engine to rebuild with a similar issue, I wanted to share my painful experience.

That totally sucks and i`m really sorry for this happened to your car. And thanks for sharing your story. May I ask what happened to the original bearing and why you replaced it at the first place? Also, was the seal for the bearing (the LN) removed? Thanks!
