It's really a shame that we're now seeing 9X7 cars having IMS problems. Are you the original owner of the car? If so, it's likely that Porsche will offer a goodwill replacement, though you'll have to pickup the labor. If you get this option, it's not a bad deal (though not a great one either, as this shouldn't have happened). The new motor will come with a 2 year, unlimited mileage warranty and should have all the latest updates (although, unless your car was a very early production 05, it should have had the later, much larger IMS bearing).
It may be possible to save your motor by extracting what's left of the IMS and updating it to the LN part, but if Porsche offers you a goodwill motor that's still a better option. If Porsche does not, then it only makes sense to try to save as much of your motor as possible.
