Hi Phil:
I saw your post regarding your friend's IMS replacement and wanted to contact you directly.
We recently brought to market the DOF (Direct Oil Feed) System which is patent-pending.
I would like to steer you to our website which has a lot of useful information regarding the IMS from its history to the 'solutions" on the market.
Any shop which has done an IMS bearing replacement can install our Kits.
When you get a chance, please visit our website at:

Thanks, and sorry for the unsolicited intrusion.
Happy Porscheing,
Pedro
