I think you want to go with the what the Porsche mechanics would advise. If you by popular consensus most Porsche owners never think about the water pump until it lets go and they wait until it's clutch time to do the IMS retrofit. I believe most Porsche mechanics will tell you this is wrong on both accounts. The water pump is a calendar item, and the IMS on a extremely low mileage car is prime candidacy for an IMS failure, if that oil has not been frequently changed (less than once a year). Along with the AOS, these are the three parts that can take down the engine if they fail while driving.
