Just was at my mechanics this week and he had just done three single row IMS bearings. Every single one was in the beginning stages of failure.

I'd change it, with a Nachi high temp full seal bearing, especially since yours is a single row. This bearing is a maintenance item even if Porsche didn't designate it as one, and when it fails, well we all know that story!
