I wouldn't worry.

It's probably more Subaru trying to stretch out an ANCIENT design longer than they should have to meet emissions. Plus I think user error is a large factor with how easily they can be 'tuned' by noobs.

There were no engine issues with the first North American STIs or WRXs as far as I remember, and the COBB Accessport wasn't out then either. Correlation?
