A reflash is only as good as the person tuning it. With any tune, especially an off the shelf tune, you are digging into the safety/reliability margin placed there by the oem manufacturer. Its always best especially with a Subaru based ecu to custome tune the car.

We have built many blown up engines that only had an off the shelf reflash. Now its much harder to damage an NA engine vs. Turbo but it still happens.
