Hello all
My name is David and I have been reading this forum for years. I just had never registered. I do actually have a question that I was wondering if any of you could help me with. I have a 99 996 with 40k miles on it and I was planing on doing the IMS update. I live in Tampa and was wondering if anyone has a shop to recommend to do this update. What is the standard/average cost of labor for this swap? I know how much the part is and was planning on ordering it soon. I just left all my tools at my parents house (Savannah, Ga) and do not feel like tackling the job on my own. I have never worked on a watercooler and the idea of it makes me a little weary.
Thank you!
Regards,
David

Thank you for all the warm welcomes! The car is a c2 6spd and I really like the car (a little slow) but the IMS causes loss of sleep. I called easycare to try to get a warranty and when you get into the fine details with them, you will find out the IMS is not covered. It looks like Im going to have to get a warranty and an IMS swap which sucks.

these cars are great and with the exception of a few parts they should last 200k or more. Now the parts can be changed, it's my opinion that one should take those steps...
if there was a warning or way of testing and/or the failure didnt cost $15-20k one could wait.... but those are not things that are offered prior to an event that could be more than most can absorb...
