Guys thanks for all the advice. I'm hoping to be that boxster owner that gets 250 plus out of it like jager has. I think I can convice her to spring for the ims retrofit and if it adds 5-6 yeara to the engine life then that's a plus. I changed the oil as soon as I got it and didn't see any metal in the filter. At some point all engines bite the bullet and I guess ill either look for a new one at that point or do the 3.8 big bore upgrade.

All of your advice is much appreciated gents. I'm a little more calm about it now. Back to driving it like its stolen.

Sorry to add to the confusion, but I thought Tips were less likely to have IMSB failure. No one had figured out why, just that they failed less often.

And I'm not a mechanic and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn. How do you change a clutch in a Tip?
