Hate that OP lost his engine and isn't getting warranty work. Sucks. I am interested in people pushing these to the limits to find the weak points. Ready for tuning to be available and for people to start boosting. Curious if the FA24 will be generally stronger or weaker than the FA20.
Warranty is for factory defects in materials and workmanship not for exceeding the operating specs of the machine. When people push it beyond the limits and the "weak points" appear it should not be the manufacturer (which ends up being the consumer anyway) that is paying. The same applies once people start tuning and boosting. It won't be that the engines are weak or strong but more how far were they pushed for things they were never designed to handle.
