I myself spun a bearing, but to no fault of the Vortech, I missed a shift and over revved the car, spinning a bearing, rod knock followed. Shortly my car will be back together, and my next purchase/investment will be a built motor and a backup motor. When I bought this car, I knew the platform was there to build a fun car. And it has been a great car, the reason I am not giving up on it. I was tempted to get another car. Depending on your situation, if you plan on keeping the car, and keeping it in a boosted state, then the insurance/ease of mind that a built motor provides is worth the investment, IMO. So now I am doing my research for local machine/engine shops in the Mid-Atlantic that have Subaru/Boxer motor experience. Any suggestions?

The truth is revealed lol
