Deltacharlie: you may want to have them swap out the front motor mount while they're changing the water pump... it only lasts about 40k miles or X years anyway.

Even if you just enjoy leisurely drives on weekends, after the motor is fully warmed up run it through the gears to near-redline RPMs each time you drive it. It aids in full-motor nook and cranny lubrication and the Porsche engineers designed the motor to be wound up, not kept below the variocam threshold, which is 3200 rpm.

If you wind up the motor to redline every time you take it out, there's a good chance you'll never see an IMS problem. Never forget that there are thousands and thousands of Boxster owners out there who have no idea what an IMS is and don't care and will never have a problem.
