I think tho, in general this engine should be fine. the EJ design wasn't as good as this, yet the STI and WRX both had cast pistons on boost (disregarding the cr)
Now regarding that CR:
as long as low boost is applied, and boost creep is kept in check and people use the right wastegate springs, a proper tune, then 99% of the time the engine will pur like a kitty!
