Add me to the list plz :-(

FBM stage 1 premium kit(one of the first, bought september 2013) with all te bells and whistles, GTX30, base map customized by LJ.
Mileage around 1000 miles, ran fine and strong until 2 days ago. After 5 km power loss, E/G knock and finally a lot of smoke. First cylinder rod snapped and knocked a hole in the block.

Had a few small problems with the kit from the beginning, but I have to say top notch service from FBM solved every single one of them in reasonable time. Reported failure @ mail LJ last sunday, received reply yesterday and I'am sure we're working things out as always...

I suspect fuel conditions here in Europe are different than in U.S. I'am going for a fully built block now but before it will run one second, I will bring it to a Subaru and ECUTEC specialist... Pretty sure starvation/running lean lies at the root cause.
