Cautionary tale (not my car) boost can be a huge PITA too, its not all red roses.....
Let this be a fair warning to all people out there new to the boost game. When Shit wants to go wrong, it will go wrong and it will bite you in the ass hard....
I don't know if the owner is here. From the hashtags and comments, it seems this is a BRZ with custom pitons and rods. Apparently it got rod knock 4 days after install. This is the car getting Dynoed after build (there's video on the link): http://instagram.com/p/qfblKMFnmq  This is the car rod knocking 4 days later (there's video on the link): http://instagram.com/p/qp2z-slnvl

Plenty of built engines don't last nearly as long as you would think, that's why it's best to get a built block from a reputable shop.

Considering the engine builder, I doubt anyone is surprised except the owner of the car.

Being fair we don't know anything at all about how/when/where/why it happened. The point of my post is that shit can still go wrong.

@Sportsguy83 speaks the truth. We try to lay it all out for customers. Building a motors is a very detailed process, and things can definitely go wrong. Aftermarket anything is a very hard/expensive game to play.
