Very true, but the latest casting of the EJ255/257 series engines have been reported to be weaker than the earlier castings...allegedly. I wouldn't make claims on the power of this engine just because a tuner managed not to blow it up at a ridiculous power level. That's not long-term enough to make that kind of claim IMO.
