the real answer is that no one knows how long it takes to wear one of these motors out, because no one has done it yet. sure, there have been premature failures due to IMS issues or oblong cylinder bore issues. no one, to my knowledge, has driven one until it just wore out. i have a '99 boxster; same basic motor. i'm at 127k HARD miles, many on track. there are finally some reports of 200k boxsters that still run like champs.
it's a crap shoot whether any premature failures will affect any individual car. if it made it past 50k miles, chances of premature failure seem to diminish. MOST of these will run for a very, very long time. hopefully yours is in that group.
