Well, around 10k miles the boxer motors (be they 2L or 2.5L) actually get a helluva lot better. Maybe that's what they meant? Blow your socks off?

See thats what I keep telling everyone, Mods should only be followed by proper Tuning.

STi's should not be touched unless being tuned for the new mods.

the only thing I've heard that's close to this is modded wrx's blowing their transmissions. I know of 3 people who've gotten their wrx's up to around 300hp and within a few thousand miles of that have had to replace (2 of them) or rebuild (the other 1) their trannys. THAT statistic was the one thing that motivated me to spend the extra cash for a STi.
