Code P1341: Camshaft Adjustment, Bank 1 – Below Limit
Potential causes: Short to ground/Actuator faulty/Open circuit in wiring

This code is often a bad variocam actuator (or wiring problem). Otherwise, it seems to imply that the adjustor is maxed out and that is why the engine has such large cam deviations. Large constant cam deviations can be caused by worn adjuster paddles. That might be all that is needed.

With all of that being said, I don't understand why you'd need a IMS bearing replacement????? Or a clutch. Or a RMS.

I'd take it to another shop and ask them to isolate the cause of the P1341 and then re-evaluate your options.

Don't be the guy who gets one repair quote and then sells his car for a dime on the dollar because of the insane estimate. That is how I bought my 996 - the previous owner was convinced by his shop that it needed $4,300 in repairs. So I bought it super cheap and fixed everything myself for $600 in parts.
