IMS Guardian

If you had the IMS Guardian and it was triggered what are your options? You still have an imminent potential engine failure, I assume they'd just replace the IMS? But Ive read that there are also connecting rod bearing failures that can happen on the 986 and 987.1 cars due to oil starvation, It would detect that as well? Is the IMS replaceable on the 987? A new engine can cost $12-18k, what is the average cost of a rebuild if caught before any major failure occurred? Just the engine portion, but I'd guess you'd also want to replace clutch, water pump, belts, hoses, etc while it was all apart to be safe and save extra labor costs down the road.

When I find the right car I think that will be one of my first mods.
