How many miles are on your IMS Retrofit?

My wife is driving one that has a couple thousand miles on an IMSR.

My sister-in-law's IMSR is 6 months old and ~4500 miles or so I'm guessing.

There were 2 2003 Boxster S IMS failures last month in Houston.

One of them is at our shop now. Sadly it had just been purchased,
and prior to purchase inspected at a dealership who found an RMS
leak and charged the original owner $2500 to fix.
For that kind of money an indie can do the IMSR, RMS, Clutch and probably
hand back a handful of franklins. To me that is getting ripped off!

Never mentioned the IMSR -- or we might have never have seen the car at the shop.

When I made a visit to the local Porsche dealership and talked to the head mechanic. He raved about the IMSR and said that they had done several.

My philosophy is if I open up the engine -- if its my engine/car it gets done.
If it is someone elses, I recommend they strongly consider having it done
if the labor to get to that point is coincident with some other repair.

ymmv,

Thank you for your input! Besides Jake, I think you are the only one who posted any mileage! Its good to hear you have put 18,000+ miles on your bearing and that everything seems to be good.
