Yes, +1 on the details of the what kit they used and the costs. Time it took would also be very helpful.

We have done more of these retrofits than anyone, including the first one and all the testing.

I charge a flat rate of 3,500 parts and labor for Boxsters up to 2005 to complete the IMS retrofit process. This includes a new clutch, pressure plate, release bearing as well as the LN IMSR kit and all other related parts including the updated RMS.

This also includes dyno evaluation and field testing of at least 250 miles after the retrofit is made to ensure there are no leaks present and that the unit is functioning as expected.

I include the clutch unit in my prices because any Boxster with 35K+ miles is in need of clutch service and with the components already pulled to facilitate the IMSR it makes no sense not to replace them.

Most any shop will charge an amount that rivals this to do the procedure, but most do it by the hour and charge more. We are more proficient with the process, know what to expect and how to overcome challenges that can be experienced during bearing extraction processes.

I have Boxsters here from 4 states right now to have the process completed.
