[QUOTE="decipha, post: 16552876, member: 74327"] We've had quite a few come through our shop and so far no issues as of yet. I think the majority of these issues are due to unintentional neglect. My theory is that these cars being what they are typically get ran for short periods of time and are often moved around regularly without ever reaching operating temp. That coupled with sitting for extended periods of time with no use is usually a recipe for increased wear in itself. Then when they are finally driven it seems those having failures aren't really pushing them hard as they we designed for instead they are just using them as a casual weekend cruiser. In my experiences none of them that actually get used as intended have issues. Its the ones that sit and have ultra low miles (i.e. sitting up for extended periods) that have issues. These cars are intended to be pushed hard and those that drive them and use them as they were designed to be used don't usually have problems. I will say that these engines really come alive and smooth out with boost. It seems like all of the boosted ones I've tuned actually have better drive-ability and street manners after being boosted as compared to being bone stock. [/QUOTE]
