Well, if Subaru wants to play that game...it looks like one needs to go back to stock (unless you have a reasonable dealer) when you go get these injector seal/popping noises/other crap looked at under warranty...

Boo Subaru, boo for you....
I've said this in like 50 threads, but if you want warranty coverage on an issue which is not covered by a specific TSB/recall, Subaru isn't going to cover it for a modded vehicle. 99% of Subaru dealers have zero tolerance for modifications whether they have directly caused a failure or not. They have been through tons of warranty issues with the WRX/STi due to user abuse/mods/etc. they put everything through a very fine toothed comb.

As for the injector seal failure, I hope things get worked out and it is just an ECU tuning issue, but that seems a little fishy to me. There have been issues before however with lean conditions during high-rpm lift, so hopefully changing the mapping in those situations will work.
