It isn't really an upgrade; you're just picking which failures you'd prefer to have lol.
Furthermore, it sounds gross (subjective) and falls on its face at higher RPMs.
Now, if they gave us an FA20DIT that utilized forged internals, better cooling, and more top end power, while increasing reliabilty/durability, I'd be on board. Until that day comes though, I'll stick with the EJ.

I thought the WRX already had the DIT? Why would the STI get anything different
