1. If you are installing a 106-08.20 IMS Solution in a Boxster or 911 996 engine with a single row intermediate shaft bearing that has been previous fitted with an aftermarket IMS bearing replacement, you will need the correct circlip / snap ring to properly retain the IMS Solution bearing. If you do not have an original Porsche circlip or snap ring, please note that the ears on the circlip / snap ring can interfere with the IMS Solution, requiring a reduced ear width of approximately 0.194″ to properly clear the IMS Solution flange. A replacement single row circlip / snap ring compatible with the single row IMS Solution 106-08.20 is available for purchase and is sold separately.
If you are installing a single row IMS Solution an intermediate shaft fitted with our triple row IMS upgrade, please note that some IMS shafts use a spiro-loc rather than a snap ring or circlip. If that is the case, you must reuse the existing spiroloc when fitting the 106-08.20 single row IMS Solution.
2. Fitment with aftermarket sway bars must be verified with the car on the ground with the suspension fully loaded. A minimum of a 1/4″ of clearance must be observed at all times around the oil line. Contact of larger diameter sway bars or sway bars improperly installed will cause contact with the oil line and oil line failure. Fitment can only be guaranteed with properly installed stock sway bars. See photo below:
