I think people need to understand the properties of 'plastics' before thinking they are weak and no good.

A lot of plastics used in engineering are a lot stronger, lighter and better than steel or aluminium. People have a tendency to assume steel will be stronger.

Personally I fail to see what the issue is. Subaru release a car to be driven as it is, they don't release a car to be modded and run 25psi. If you purchase a car and start to mod it you have to expect that some parts will be under engineered for your task and will need to be replaced. In saying that, I would assume all parts have massive safety factors in built in the design, so they will be able to withstand the general publics mods.

It's a bit like saying Subaru are wankers because the stock 5 speed doesn't handle 500kW atw.
