It's just like with flaws, they often get voiced, while problemless working often is considered norm and never posted about, so often generating misimpression as if some product might have been problem-ridden POS even if in reality it's relatively rare occurance.
I guess i should say majority of forum posters on here

but even in the reviews videos of the twins from everydaydriver youtube series they both concluded that after header + tune that resolved the torque dip issue, that it was then the car finally reached the point where they felt should've been how the engine should have performed off the lot. It is a sporty car after all!

You're one data point. Can you really say that a collection of twins with blowers, turbos, and all manner of whatever will have a failure rate just as low as another group of stock ones?

Didn't your JRSC shit itself?
