Ok I have read that as few as 1% of the Boxster/996 motors fail because of IMS failure. So if you are looking at a high mile car, that has had the work done, is it an upgrade that will not fail again or is it something that will fail again after so many miles / hours? Is one that has not had the work done a ticking bomb? Do both the manual and tiptronic have the same issue?
