I started discussing this in post #6. It was a hellish time. I've driven my car 2,870 miles since October 11th 2015. That's something around 230 days.

After this subaru it is going to be something without variable valve timing for me.

yes its weird, I suspect that a lot of aftermarket tunes "push" the vvt system harder ie ask for a greater rate of change of cam timing than the stock tune. Hence this may uncover latent defects in the vvt system in some cars
