The IMS Solution adds considerable parts costs compared to a normal LN retrofit, and adds about one hour in labor for machining the cases to allow the oil line to access the flange and setting up the spin on adaptor and routing the oil line.

I got a quote from a local shop and it was $2,000 for the double row LN bearing and $3,200 for the solution. The solution with RMS, clutch and flywheel was quoted as and $4,700 (parts and labor). That seems to be a much more reasonable price. Looking over the quote from the approved installer, they had a lot of extras, such as a prequalification that they priced at $420 (insert 420 joke here).

Prequalification is not a joke. You might be surprised at the number of cars that do not pass..............

As a reference I had this work done about a year ago on a 03 Carrera for $2,700 out the door. That included pre-qual, LN bearing, RMS, AOS, clutch, oil, oil filter, labor and tax. Not sure, but I believe the Carrera is a little more on labor than the Boxster. Parts are going to be similar in costs everywhere but this independent (Porsche factory trained and 12 years 986/996/987/997 experience and a approved LN installer) is a small shop with low overhead and a very reasonable labor rate. I had the same shop do my Boxster sans the clutch for about $1,800 about 4 years ago.

I'm guessing you got the LN IMS retrofit, not the "IMS Solution".
