For just the parts alone, the IMS Solution adds around an additional $1K over a ceramic hybrid installation, and about 1 to 1 1/2 hours of additional labor to machine a notch in the engine cases to accept the oil line, mounting the special spin on oil filter adaptor, sealing the IMS shaft, and routing the braided stainless line that carries the oil to the IMS flange.

That said, before we do any retrofits on a 2005 car, it has to come apart to make sure it has a serviceable IMS bearing rather than the oversized bearing. With a 2005 car, there is no way to know which bearing is in the engine without opening it up and looking.

Ok, so how much to buy and have one of their dealers install it?

Is there a better solution? What would you do on a 2005 987s?

Assuming the car is carrying a serviceable IMS bearing, the IMS Solution parts kit is $1725. Realistically, an all in installed price (including parts) with a new RMS, clutch, but no flywheel should be budgeted for around $3500 to $4000.
