... the inside of the IMS does not have fresh, free-flowing oil that an lubricate adequately. Whatever amount seeps in is stagnant and quickly degrades by the heat cycles. The smell is horrible. I'm sure that Porsche had this in mind when they decided to seal the bearing with what they thought would be lubrication for life.

... where you're going to tap into the oil where you drill through the firewall. I don't like tapping next to the filter using a spin-on adapter because you have to use a shorty oil filter which I don't like. Also I don't like routing the oil line to the bottom of the engine. I'm working on offering a simpler way of doing it which will also use a shorter oil line, but I'm a few weeks from havingby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum

... do it either way, but why remove it? If you remove it you'll have to deal with the radio code, plus your DME's parameters will need to be re-learned. Just make sure you connect the leads in the right way. If the car sits for a while you can connect a battery maintainer through the cigarette lighter socket or hard-wired to the battery.

The model year 2000 was the first 986S produced. The model year 2004 was the last 986 produced. MY 2000 986S had 252 HP with 3.2L engine. MY 2004 986 had 255 HP with 2.7L engine.
