Thread: 987.1 question

    987.1 question

    I’m considering purchasing an ‘08 987.1. These cars seem like a bargain right now....a lot of bang for the buck. Has anyone encountered any IMS issues or is this concern overblown for the ‘06-‘08 larger bearing that Porsche installed in these cars?

    I have a 997.1 which I bought new in late '05, and have had no problems, nor have I seen or heard of any. Just internet discussion.

    Jeff,

    always let yourself get the electronic read out shown..!
    there should be no over revs in certain cathegories.
    none in stage 4, none in stage 5
    latest should have been 100hours ago!
