Exactly. It helps if they're mapped properly from the factory in the first place which the newer ones weren't so standard engines with standard power were blowing.

Sticky here. I haven't read it but my mate suffered from the exact problem I've described. I assume that thread is for the same.

Older subarus were renowned for blowing the engine after one top speed run. there were numerous threads about this when I used to vist scoobynet regularly a few years back.
