Not really. Subaru turbo motors generally have some major failure before 150,000 miles.

The N/A motors had headgasket issues (fixed with the FB motors) but will last forever, and even run for years with bad headgaskets.

I'm talking turbo vs supercharger... not the lack of durability in engine design.

Regarding "parts" and aftermarket talk.

Any idea if this will also be 5x114.3 lug pattern?

I also wonder what proper wheel offsets will be necessary for well fitted wheel/track tire combos.

maybe you would never put a SC on a 4 banger but that doesnt mean others shouldnt. you can go the turbo route if you want. but you're going to be the one who deals with heat, fitment, overboosting, spool, boost leaks, or whatever problems that are commonly associated with turbos...

PS: centrifugal SC are crap imo, only rotrex is worthy as a consideration.

Wait, Rotrex IS centrifugal...lol sorry had to do that.

And the turbo is usually the part that goes first.

Or in Subarus case, the ringlands.

I hope someone will make taillight similar to Aston Martin Zagato's taillight for this car. It will be perfect.

the tail lights gotta be replaced.

yes it is, but its the best design. a revolutionary design that is head and shoulders above the old school vortech crap.

same here. it seems Subaru did that on purpose to make a point about it being engineered by them and not Toyota.
