If the replacement engine was built in 2005, it could go either way. The only way to know which bearing is in this engine is to pull the trans and flywheel and look at the center bolt; if it is a 22 MM, it is the non serviceable IMS bearing which cannot be replaced without pulling the engine apart. Because 2005 was a transitional year, even Porsche could not tell you more without looking.
