luckily nothing in a Subaru yet **touch wood** but had a small failure on my MPS which could have been a lot worse.

The high pressure fuel pump internals failed due to the shafts incorrect tolerances causing excess lateral movement. Sent the part back to the manufacturer who gave me a full refund and a free replacement set of internals.



It failed at WOT but thankfully the ECU / COBB AP put the car into limp mode when a dangerous lean AFR situation was produced. So no engine damage, just a long drive home from the Motorplex...

That is a pretty conservative price list by most standards don't want to think about the money I have spent on cars over the years.
