Also, prices on the day to day goods will stay the same or follow the normal inflation path. Food may drop a bit. All washes out again, doesn't it? Our cost of living will follow the inflation rate... |

That said a dollar today doesn't buy what a dollar bought 20 years ago. That's another subject though. |

I'm hoping that isn't the case with my 2017. Look at the sealant that oozed next to the oil filter with lots more around the whole cover. |

There's an upside to seeing that on a brand new one. It means the failure rate is low enough that the loss (warranty) associated with this particular mode is less than the projected cost of changing the assembly process. Trust me. Subaru is keenly aware of the issue.

I can't quite remember how much boost off the top of my head but I was on the 70mm pulley, so whatever that produces.
As an update, Car is in the shop this week. Most probably getting a new stock engine but if a quote comes back in budget I may go for it... Shop is taking ages to give the quote for the build. |

The problem with the Sprintex kit is that it produces a lot of torque down low. These motors are made to spin fast, not run at low rpm with major torque.

I have been watching these threads where FI motors get blown. I see a common thread among them- more than 8 psi of boost. From my observations from around this forum, anything over 8 psi is a ticking time bomb. It's not a definite and there have been a couple I have read about running less boost, but almost all of them run more.
No stats, no proof. Just observation. |
