SvenskaPoika · 04-22-2014, 01:46 PM

After reading and re-reading the various threads, it appears my 1998 base model Boxster (made 11/97 in Finland) with 73k miles has a double row engine, which is less prone to IMS failure (apparently less than 1%).

Is this correct? If so, I'll probably pass on the IMS upgrade.

Thanks in advance for your comments and insight.
