You folks need to be careful concerning the "IMS failure" hyperbole on this board. There are users on this board that make a living woking on porsche's and selling aftermarket parts. And I have seen postings where some people claimed IMS failure in a post but have never posted again. It is easy in this day and age to "create" a market of fear then serve the needs of that market.

I am making no claims (for or against). I am just saying be careful.

I am not into fear, but reality. A friend's 2000 2.7 imploded after just 10 hours of DE and AX events...IMS bearing failure. Car around 50k miles on the clock and was well taken care of, though it was filled with Mobil 1 0W40. He has purchased a used engine and is having all the current LN updates done before installation.

I have been a PCA instructor in the Chicago region for the last 10 years or so. We have a fair number of Boxsters and Caymans attending our events and not every one of them implodes.

It won't happen to everyone's car, but it does happen (on rare occasion)...just hope it isn't yours.
