That would be like saying, my friend with a 13 BRZ that is in the recall population but alread blew one up, could be challanged because he has a motor out of a non recall car.
Do the rules require someone being able to prove there is an advantage gained by using non-spec parts? I thought it simply had to prove the presence of non-spec parts. As far as proof goes, I am under the impression that when someone files a mechanical protest, a teardown would be performed at impound once the appropriate protest fees are paid.

The update/backdate rule covers your second scenario.
