The IMS replacement is normally done at clutch replace time along with the RMS (Rear Main Seal) update. So in round numbers for a stick shift car, $2k. For a 3rd gen IMS design such as an '07 surely is...the same parts and labor would be around $4.5k. But depends on what the labor rate is and how you buy the parts. And there are those who do it all themselves or with help from a friend.

Sorry Late model 2005-2008 have to have the motor removed and motor case split to remove and replace IMS this is, BIG BIG $$$$.
1997-2004 can have IMS removed with out having to remove and split the motor case. therefore labor cost is a lot less.
You can buy a nice 2004 and have IMS, RMS and a new clutch done at an Indy, shop for less then $3,000 or Buy a 2009 or newer Boxster and not have to worry about the IMS, 2009 and up no longer have an IMS.
I would not touch a 2005-2008 W/ a ten foot pole, unless it has a warranty. Good luck Dude.
