I'm not saying that the tune caused the engine to fail, I said in my earlier threads, the last thing I'm doing is bagging MMS, I know them quite well actually, and have done for years. I don't work for Subaru Aus, my opinions are my own.
My point is, things that cause ring lands to fail are, rev limiter (fuel cut), a poor tune, or to much boost. Basically lean running or too high combustion chamber temps. This is a fact. A WRX driven normally, not red-lined and thrashed day in day out, should not have this kind of failure. It is possible to drive a car hard and not abuse it. I think Nauli said in an earlier post, the way the car is driven can also be a contributing factor.
I think you'll find the reason Subaru won't honour a warranty claim is because the engine intake and exhaust were modified, and also the ECM program. Fair enough I think.
I still say build it Rick, there can't be to many full-house 09's around yet.
