Actually I think this is a very legitimate question. It really depends on the buyer. If he/she doesn't know and you inform them then they might shy away because of other what-if problems there might be, if they don't care then money wasted, but if they know or understand then the added benefits of having the IMS already done would be a deal closer in my book.

I say do it while you are already in there.

The answer is yes.

Now, why would a Porsche Technician come to enthusiasts for advice. Stinky stinky stinky.

Sounds like this should be in the classifieds.

But to answer your question, if you're a tech and already in there, no, I wouldn't touch it. You assume liability if you do. If it isn't broken on something you want to sell, DON'T touch it.

Everybody knows that.
