The problem with scoobys is the bloody Jap boost controllers. All these owners are buying em and running too much boost through the engine.
If tuned properly like, they are very reliable and fast. A m8 of mine has a nice RB5, running close to 400 brake. Alll on standard compression. GEMS ecu, uprated injectors, TD05/06 turbo, bigger fuel pump, and BIG intecooler with water injection. They're not all shit, just the ones with boost controllers....
