Your options are to fix it or sell it as a dead roller for maybe $5K. Get a second opinion from a qualified Porsche indy who knows their stuff. If the IMS has not failed yet the motor can probably be saved. TRG is in Petaluma Ca, 911 Design in Montclair, Tony Callas in Torrance. All are excellent. Where exactly do you live?
