i did the EPS IMS solution to my 1997 Boxster in 2014 when it had 40K miles on it. I did it along with the AOS and coolant tank, water pump, belts, any and all rubber on engine, RMS, spark plugs and tubes, front motor mount, and anything else I could think of just for piece of mind. It was a low mileage car but was 17 years old at that time. Have not had the first problem with it since. It just turned 69K miles and no problems and total peace of mind for the last 6 years.

Hi everyone

now our central heating has packed up, 7000 $A so will have to defer the D.O.F on the boxster for a while. Thanks to those who provided some opinions,

Sorry to hear!

Where does the oil fed kit plumb into? I am on the prevent bandwagon with my 02 and its just a well maintained car and want to keep it a while.

Hi APARKE4

the oiled is taken from a modified oil filter unit via an external feed pipe to the new bearing.

A lot of information on the internet including fitting videos, thanks for the empathy, can't use the Boxster at the moment (self Isolating )

Cheers Alan

It finally hit me -- there is only one true solution to the IMSB that will allow you to sleep at night

SELL your Boxster
Doesn't cost a dime

Right on thx found a few examples... I currently have the filter adapter so it looks like a I would need the new piece instead of plumbing off the motor (for an easier install).

The DOF (Direct Oil Feed) is one product. The Solution is a totally different product. Different companies, different location on the engine the oil is taken from. Also different bearings, different amount of oil fed to the bearings. And certainly different proponents in the Porsche community.
