Is the IMS something that wears gradually over time, or is it something where you get minimal wear until some tipping point is reached, then boom?
I'll drive mine 60 miles every day, and examine the oil filter every 3-4K miles (every third month) at oil change. I figured to have a look at the IMS when I do the clutch, but mine shows no apparent need for attention any time soon. A light drip from the RMS on a 7 year old car hardly seems out of the ordinary.
I'd hate to do $2500 worth of preventative IMS maint, and then have the head crack. Maybe it's just best to approach these engines as disposable consumables? There are lots of second hand engines out there...

You will have to do the research on the internet to see if the IMS guardian would fit your 05. I am sure lots of testing has been done before it was released. There is lots of info out there on the IMS as well.
