I for one hope you are right, but there are posts of folks with the DI failure who never even autocross let alone run a tune, what I've noticed is they typically have higher miles. Many of the "track Junkies" don't use this as their primary car and may have fairly low miles. Its the guys who have commuted 30k miles the last year holding down a job who don't have time for "tunes" and autocross that concern me the most.
But I do hope you are right, the way the ECUtek encrypts the ECU never set well with me. This is what an 8 bit processor ECU? Ever use encryption on a 64 bit processor (slows it down considerably.) It would be really nice to dismiss this entire issue as bad tuning/ECUtek issues, but Mike is adamant that his ECU is stock and gave it to Subaru for proof. I am sure some of these failures are tune related but I don't think we can say all of them are?
