I'm actually hoping for an IMS failure in my 2.5 so I will have the justification with the wife to swap the dead motor for an LS!

OP: I was so freaked out by RMS leaks and IMS bearing failure when I first got my boxster that it almost made me too fearful to drive the car. I highly recommend you take the motor to redline after it's up to temp every time you drive the car (gets the oil into all the nooks and crannies) and forget about the IMS. If it fails it's gonna fail. And there's a good chance that it will not fail.

I have been driving my boxster like I stole it (flogging it both around town and on the track for three years) and that's the best way to own one.
