Ims bearing - 750$, Ims bearing tool - 250-300$, alsoooo my car has variocam timing issues where I keep getting a p1341 so a new variocam actuator/solenoid - 1400$ from porsche, is it 3,000$? no. Is it close? very. If i cant get a new engine to work I will definitely rebuild this one, well actually either way I will build this one as a spare engine but right now I want my boxster working cheap and the notion of having a newer engine with less miles and no more stupid variocam actuator issues and ims issues... oh yeah. If I can put in an 06 m97, I will.
My question is the level of what is involved in putting in the newer engine and how id have to re program my immobilizer and keys and a my vin to the new ecu since I have to pass smog which is very important to me to have the car running. Also my car is a tiptronic so thats also something Id have to deal with.
