996 GT2 IMS Bearing for 986 / regular 996?
 
Since GT2 & GT3s were equipped with fail-proof plain IMS bearings.... why are not people using their parts to upgrade 986's and 911's?

Would it even fit?

Totally different motor and layshaft. Does not interchange

Exactly. Different engine design between the 986/996 and the 996 GT-3.

You can read a nice summary here: Mezger Engine Explained

Well actually "The Solution" is a flat bearing similar to the one in the Mezger engines. So someone is using the idea, just not the same bearing.
