You can order the ceramic bearing from LN for the single and/or double (an engine eligible for The Solution can get the ceramic LN bearing and even Jake recommends it rather than The Solution if you aren't planning on keeping the car and engine beyond another 50k miles. You can't return it IIRC so figure out which you have before ordering.
Porsche is known to have used what I call third generation IMSs in rebuilding/building replacement engines for 2000-2004 and even early 2005 cars that had dual row second generation bearings originally. So those people who own cars in those years and who didn't know their engines have been replaced get the unpleasant experience of disassembling their engine only to find out that the bearing can't be replaced without cracking the case. The good news is they have a seemingly better original bearing that may not fail as often/soon (not that any of them fail that often but, if it is yours, on is too many)
