Odd sounds can be heard in many cars. It just seems worse with the reduced sound deading we have.
Failures when boosted happen. If you just slap a FI system on and don't beef up some of the other parts or get a crappy tune your in for trouble. That is why I am waiting until I can do a full, proper build for FI. These engines work just fine under the conditions they were designed for.
The forum can be especially disheartening as you hear many, MANY more horror stories then good news! How many times will somebody post (for no reason) "never had a single problem with my XXXX"? Don't know how many people are on here (that actually own/drive a twin) but will bet we total less then 10% of the cars sold. The sad part is that some of the less reputable "expert" websites just take what they read here and represent it as proof the car is no good!
In summary it is a $25K to $30K (depending on where you are) sports car not a $300K supercar.
Oh... and go check out the Porsche forum sometime if you think WE have problems!!!!!!!!

google "Porsche intermediate shaft bearing failure" sometime when you want to be glad you didn't buy one.
