If the OP was to install a used motor prior sale the IMSB upgrade would only up the price around $600. He could easily sell the higher price by asking the buyer to do a quick www search for "porsche IMS"
I would suggest the OP to sell as is and upgrade to a 997 twin turbo.

If you had two 2001MY Boxsters where they were the exact same with exception to the IMS being performed on one and the cost difference was say $2000.00 would you really pay the difference?
My thinking is that the general public does not even know what an IMS is and the enthusiast knows that even if you have the IMS upgraded that it still is a flawed Porsche design and not guaranteed to never go out (per LN own website):
Now if you have the IMS upgraded sure you are increasing your odds that it will not fail, but on the same thought you have Boxsters with over 100,000 miles that never had the IMS failure, it really is a game of odds.
Now back to the OP, would he recoup cost during sale for engine replacement, clutch and IMS/RMS on a 2001 Boxster...............Never.
