Check YouTube. There's at least one IMS failure of car that was regularly tracked (aka abused). It goes without warning. A little wobbly in that bearing that you can't feel or sense, unless they invent medical MRI's for car engines, and poof....all gone.
The beauty of upgrading the IMS and replacing the clutch is that you actually get to break in a new clutch. It's not like doing something preventative that has no utility other than peace of mind. You get a new clutch that can typically last you up to 100K miles. And doing it sooner means less abuse on the flywheel which is $600 OEM. I wouldn't even think twice if I didn't have full service records with a good sense of how frequently the car was driven. My belief is that a car with 1- at least two oil changes a year, 2- non-Mobil 1 oil, 3-driven on an at least weekly basis, 4-year round, 5-in a sunny climate is the best Boxster history.
Add points for each.
