Comes down to dollars and cents. What is the cost of doing the IMS vs. the value of the car? Are you putting $3000 into a $5000 car? You know the values in your area - would it make more sense to bank the $3000 and put that towards a newer Boxster if your engine does go? Remember, you will also be able to sell your Box as a roller for a couple thousand, so that's essentially $5000 you could have towards a newer Box.

And again......at best, what, 10% of Box's experience a fail? That means 90% don't. Pretty good odds that NOTHING will happen.

The flip side - if every time you drive it you worry about the IMS, then just do it for piece of mind.
