No reason whatsoever to do the RMS. It's never leaked (good case halves and sealing!), and I have learned to never mess with stuff like that if it isn't broken.

The IMS is a different story though. I will be opening it up soon, and if it's good, I may not replace it at this time....Still pondering it.

I do believe that the IMSB may possibly be the single most feared part of these motors, but the odds that it is good are in my favor, and I have seen WAY too much chest-beating as to who makes the best update, and a lot of those same people are throwing a lot of horror stories this way in what seems like scare-to-buy tactics at times.

I will know more after I crack-open that IMSB flange.

We charge customers $25 to do the RMS with the new PTFE seals that never leak, if we do them while doing an IMS retrofit. All of these cars came with Viton seals, which Porsche updated to PTFE around 7 years ago because so many of the Viton seals suddenly started leaking. I have never heard of seen a PTFE seal (which was installed correctly) that leaked, so it is a major improvement for little money.
