Think he means our APR, I hear their new bumpers come very poor quality.

Lol... He says in one of his videos that the fa20 is the best engine Subaru has ever produced... Perhaps he is about to release a new rod and/or piston set....

on the upside, apr did resolve the instances i've been informed of

gotta give them credit for resolving that sort of thing rather than just saying tough shit pay to play

Crawford posts of engine failure example at 218hp

I saw that FB post. As I commented, the failure is likely due to the tune... Crawford listed that car only had an axel back, intake and their stage 1 tune. To get that much power out of bolt ons, that tune must've been pretty aggressive.

One thing to note... I believe the tuner of that car is on this board. Perhaps he can offer some insight on the failure.
