IMS Upgrade - Should I have it done

[mikefocke]

but you have 2 options, buy the engine and have the work to remove and replace (R&R) done locally or ship to Jake and he does it.

I think he quoted the engine itself in CPO form (improvements described but with lots of tests to make sure it was a good candidate for the cpo program that not everyone is capable of) at $7k. Figure in installation at ~$1.5k guessing. I forget if there was any core charge (your engine in exchange) figured into that program.

BMAN,
Give Dean a call today at 706.219.4874 so he can get you in touch with our best shipper..

We have cars coming to our facility from every corner of the country for a very good reason and lots of those people do have competent local solutions that provide services that are similar to ours.

You need to consider the differences in each company's offerings before you compare on price. Honestly, other companies don't have the capabilities that we do and they didn't do the development on the IMSR under their roof. They also didn't design the tools and extraction procedure. They don't have in house dyno capabilities with hundreds of other plots to compare your before and after IMSR plots to. There you also won't have a technician doing the work who is primarily an M96 Engine Builder.

Having the FSI IMSR serialization decal in the door jamb makes a big difference when it comes time to put the car up for sale.. Not just in price but in "sell-ability" in today's market.

We'd be happy to help, call Dean and get in touch with our shipper. I have cars headed
here from your area now and if we can get several on the same truck it might be cheaper and would certainly be easier.
