@switchlanez cool story bro

I think your post highlights my point, though - you say if the engine blows, go engine swap. But if you don't start with boost in the first place you aren't at a loss of $5-10k for the initial F/I parts.

Don't get me wrong, I love this platform and I'm sure it is amazing with boost. I'd love to own a boosted twin. But with all the engine & trans failures I'm leaning towards the cautious side.
