My starter failed this weekend. I knew it was on its way out as it would take a while to start, but I was hoping I could hold out until I brought it in for the IMS bearing upgrade. Looks like I'm getting the IMS bearing done now! Luckily my indy tech has the parts in stock and the starter won't be much or any extra labor considering he's already in there. $250 for a new Bosch starter (Porsche wanted $1,100 for their starter; get f**ked!), $120 for the updated alternator/starter wiring harness, and a bit under $2,000 for the IMS bearing upgrade. My work gave me a rental in the meantime, so all is well.
$2,000 for the IMS bearing upgrade is cheap insurance against a $20,000 engine replacement.
