Yep. There's a reason that the EJ architecture has not produced more than 300hp safely since 2002. It's maxed out. Lubrication in corners at high RPM is a major problem that only intensifies with these piggyback OTS tunes. My friends and I often buy them with blown rings and flip them. They are very easy to fix and extremely rudimentary and simplistic in design. But they blow up quite often, especially Stage 2's.

that's some good insight right there. I may never consider STI or even a WRX, these cars are still 8K cheaper. For people who don't know much, the STI is a cheaper car to step into the game.
