He has had countless dealership visits and they have determined it to be a DI seal. No blown motor, yet, but the issue isn't fully resolved either.
I feel for the guys having these issues and its the only thing that has me on the fence over FI. I'd love to have the FA20 kit installed already and beating the crap outta the car having at least some faith in the reliability but these issues popping up on NA motors too has me worried to install even a "safe" supercharger kit like the innovate or Vortech. I've been watching as patiently as possible as the early adopters (you) of the early adopters (ft86 community) log some miles on each of these setups and find the weak links. As hard as it is to wait my wallet thanks you for taking the leap first.

Well in my case I had 10k on the clock before I did the Vortech and the popping noise happened after about 500 miles with the Vortech.
So chances are IF I do have a problem it was caused before supercharger, and now the extra heat and pressure are going to accelerate the issue.
Thanks for the heads up. As soon as I pull the injectors I will have a video and thread with the results.
