Ims
IMS failures are common with 2005 and early 2006 model engines. In 2006 Porsche beefed up the IMS bolt and that prevented IMS failures. However if you heavily track your car, it will fail due to oil starvation. Mine failed last month at Blackhawk. Porsche covered part of a new engine and I am adding a an oil safe kit from TTP as well as an extended oil pan to help prevent another failure. I would say just go with another 3.4 engine unless you want to shell out 25K for a 3.8 swap. But if you can get your extended warranty to cover a 3.8 go for it. I was contemplating doing the 3.8 if Porsche did not cover a new 3.4.
