I used a draw wire from the rear of the passenger seat to the wheel arch and that was it the rest was just tucked under the console.
Leading evidence: 'Use draw wire' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace oil' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Well the reason I bought myself one was rather than riping apart my Oil filter every time I change my oil.

If I did it at my work where there's lots of space and plenty of light, I reckon under an hour (now that I know the run).

Don't panic and use draw wires would the advice I can think of.

I either got lucky or other people tried using a French baguette as a draw wire.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Oh, that Richard not this Richard. [

I checked both 3.4 and 3.6 engine specs, and they both say forged rods and crank. I'm fairly sure the X51 they refer to uses a standard crank too. Seems very odd what they are saying.
I thought all water cooled are lokasil coated.
But in all fairness it doesnt matter what they are!
They FAIL and thats why the IMSG is a no brainer!.
Broken cod rods, Chunks out of cylinder liners , IMS bearings.
the IMSG is there for all of them.
Well the reason I bought myself one was rather than riping apart my Oil filter every time I change my oil.
This can do it for me 7,24,365. As I want to know about any metals floating around my engine!.
There will be add ons for front diffs and gearboxes as well so I hear.
Small price to pay for potentially something that could do some serious damage to your car and wallet.
Had a look at the video on Wrightune. Seems very straight forward.
Looking forward to finding out your experiences once you fit yours.
Sorry did it myself,
Its a basic system that I am sure will earn Jake Raby a $million.
Is it worth it ? YES.
Every time I put my foot down I don't have to get religious.
I was amassed how clean it was inside my sump.
Don't kid yourself like I did that there's plenty of extra cable because there's not I mounted my switch next to the radio in the end and not by the handbrake like I originally planned. the cable length was pretty much exact.
Also don't forget that to complete a circuit you need an earth! DOH'.
Oh, And as far as the gloss switch goes mine was a matt that had been lacquered. Not really the same as the Porsche gloss finish but is only noticeable real close up.
I still think there should be a huge Window sticker in the kit. "IMSG Sleeping aid fitted"
Ill do a couple tonight when I get home.
I was going to take pictures along the way but my hands/gloves were filthy and I kind of thought it would be pointless as it would only be the same as Jake's install instructions/Video.
The bit that I have heard people moan about through the firewall exiting via rear wheel arch was a breeze.
I either got lucky or other people tried using a French baguette as a draw wire.
Lastly I don't think much of the MCD connector I know they don't get much rain in the states but that's a joke.
Ill be replacing mine with a waterproof one like used in EU countries that build cars LOL.
This wont void any warranty.
Like this.

The plug they use isn't sealed at the joint, but they have sealed it with silicone where the wires go in. I think that all you need to do is put some self-amalgamating tape around the plug/socket joint to seal it.
Nice. Whats the button below the ims guardian?
Did you also get the option for an IMS button as opposed to the imsg icon? I saw a button with just IMS on it?
The button below is a spoiler button, normally only fitted to Turbo models. Someone must have retrofitted it, by piggy-backing it to the switch on the fuse panel. It's a common mod.
The IMSG comes with an icon sticker, and a plain IMSG sticker.
On the subject of IMSG wiring, did you connect the fuse tap the same way round as shown on the instruction sheet?
The fuse inputs are the bottom blade connections, so if you put it as shown the IMSG power will have to go through the other fuse. It will work fine that way round, but if the other fuse blows you will lose power to the IMSG. If you put the fuse tap the other way up, the two fuses will be independant of each other.
Thirteen East - How long did it take you to install, any guidance you can offer to folks who may be thinking of doing the install. Which grommet did you feed the cable out of to connect to the Magnetic Sump. Did the wiring work out OK according to the instructions and also was it easy enough to take the wire out from the connector?
Thanks
@Richard,
Sorry I didn't see your reply,
That fuse addition is a strange thing I have never come across one and I'm pleased.
Because of this I belled it out as you cant see which way round the second slot is tapped from.
And as you suggest that wouldn't make an independent circuit.
Very good point.
As for the instructions, I thought they were pretty good, as simple as it looks its not easy to draft up something like that.
I found them pretty spot on, my switch was position #3 and I think they all are but I think it would work the same from other pins because they are 12v perm too.
The Install with plenty of room (unlike me) is a comfortable 2.5 hrs.
If I did it at my work where there's lots of space and plenty of light, I reckon under an hour (now that I know the run).
The grommet was as Jake's instruction for the 986 behind the passenger (UK) seat.
Don't panic and use draw wires would the advice I can think of. I used a draw wire from the rear of the passenger seat to the wheel arch and that was it the rest was just tucked under the console.
Sorry if this is badly written, I thought it was so much more fun to stay on the train to Margate than get off it and go to School.Doh!.
