It looks like a scary ratio of the 2004 SE's have had issues.....not good.

Ever consider your modifcations to your Boxster may have contributed to your failure?

What modifications? The only non-factory modification I have is secondary cat-bypass pipes. If you are suggesting cat bypass pipes would be a contributing factor toward an IMS failure I'd say you need to put down the crack pipe. It's bad for your health.
