Tomei compared rods on the factory FA20 to the Factory FA20T and discovered the FA20T rods were a heavier design. Also the pistons were heavier design even tho they were 10.6 compared to the 12.5 FA20

I guess Subaru engineers didn't feel safe pushing FA20 stock rods to even 268hp @6700rpm at the crank was safe.
