Yet another IMS "solution"

[schoir]

This "solution" appears to address what everyone has stated, for years, was the main cause of IMS bearing failure, namely lack of lubrication once the factory seals became compromised and, it does not add another unknown to the equation.

I am curious to know more about the real world testing of this approach, including the 48 hours at Sebring with the 1999 Spec Boxster mentioned on their website.

This solution gives me a lot of confidence. Instead of just trying to beef up every component of the system at the car owner's expense, this solution jumps straight to addressing the actual problem. And it does it in a way that is simpler, cheaper, works on more cars, and doesn't require special tools or expertise.

As an engineer with over 25 years of experience, I've found that shoot-in-the-dark solutions show a lack of understanding and are the most unnecessarily complicated (and hence most unreliable). As the great Donald Knuth once said, "premature optimization is the root of all evil." This solution is just the opposite.

Bravo to TuneRS. I look forward to hearing more details.
