I'm guessing they resed the clutch when they did the engine swap..so my clutch is stock. it doesn't slip, but's it's close to being replaced.

to do the clutch job - parts/labor AND the IMS upgrade (parts/labor) what am I looking at $$ wise? I will take it to a porsche independent..not the stealer..

Well very generally speaking, I think it's safe to say that a clutch job will cost you $1200 and doing the logical IMS ugprade will add another $600. Obviously different geographies have different labor rates but my indy charges $85 per hour.
If you're OEM flywheel is in bad shape you'll have to add another ~$500 for the part. Waiting too long to change the clutch once its starting to slip can wear out the flywheel prematurely so in that respect it doesn't pay to wait.
