If it were me, I wouldn't have an interest in launching "heroic" measures to save what is, after all, a rather common Boxster, as opposed to replacing it with another Boxster that is newer to avoid the contingent liability/cost of a possible IMSB replacement (or a possible engine replacement if you experience an IMSB failure).

Would it make sense to you to take the insurance money and put it towards a newer car that doesn't have an IMSB (2009 or newer), or....a pre-2009 car that has had the IMSB already replaced? Just think of the peace of mind you'd have, and just think of the work you'd save!
