OK, sounds correct now.
I think $950 for labor is very reasonable for tiptronic cars. Means they just add 2.5hrs extra for tiptronic cars, it is very reasonable.
I think you are going to enjoy your car better after the repair (less worry). I can sleep better knowing that my IMS will not fail on me anytime soon with LN upgrade.
Per LN engineering recommendation, I'm running castrol syntec 5W40 after I got their IMS upgrade (Charles asked me to hold off on using castrol edge 5W40 as they don't have any experience with that new castrol at this moment, stick with old syntec for now).
Here is the quote from LN engineering website:
Use a higher viscosity motor oil. There are several Porsche approved oils that are 5w40, rather than Mobil 1 0w40. Use of an oil that isn't API SM-rated with more Zn and P or an oil with moly extreme pressure anti-wear additives may improve engine life. Castrol Syntec 5w40 is an API SL rated oil that carries Porsche approval and is an excellent choice, and easy to get locally. Motul 8100 5w40 is another excellent Porsche approved lubricant.
