what do you mean failed valve springs that are a know problem? they weren t a problem even in 2013 recalled cars, let alone a 2019. What happened?

Valve springs failed and had to be replaced. There was a recall for those valve springs at the time.

my bad i read 2019 and didn't notice you meant just the header, you actually have a 2014 car
that's unfortunate, not many people broke valve springs, no chance to make the recall before the accident ?

My car was not included in the recall by a small margin. Yet, the valves springs still failed. Either supercharger pushed the springs over the limit or they were going to fail anyway. But, since Toyota refused warranty they suggested using after market springs rated for more power. I wish I had the ability to do this myself. Then, I had to troubleshoot problems created by their work. It seems the car is back to normal working condition now. Thanks!

Supercharged did not cause springs to fail.

Good to know. I was not confident to say that. Thanks!

Coming up on two years with the JRSC - I know the fluid needs to be changed every 2 years / 50k mi, but the filter just says every 50k - should I go ahead and change the filter at the same time?

They should be changed together.

Hi guys I’m trying to figure out what’s best for me. I love my BRZ 17 but I’d like more power, it’s already “stage 2+” with oft. I’ve been considering going FI and JRSC seems like the most reliable option. The other option I have is to sell the car and buy a 21 stock sti. Anyways, my country’s premium gas is 91 octane at most, sometimes 89 depending on how lucky you are. Should I stay away of FI because of this? Or should I just get tuned in my country (I know a respectable Subaru tuner). It’s my daily driver btw.

Well, I just joined the cai club... I just needed to braze a 1 in pipe to a 3 in u pipe, drill a 3/4 in hole, and notch the cross member. But I like how it turned out!
