how much does a built motor cost? If Subaru is going to replace the motor for free, I think you should just do that because you even stated you're going to get an Evo anyways. Save the money for the evo

If there aren't any schematics of the motor online, is there a place where I could buy one locally? As in, dealer?
I'd also like some input on aftermarket pistons if anyone knows much about the diff in brands, metals, etc. This will be the first time buying engine internals and I want to know as much as possible.

I wasn't denying the fact that I have a tune, I was just saying I didn't have any mechanical mods done to the car what so ever. Stock everything. The reason it was tuned was because the car ran like crap (as does every stock 07) when it was on the stock map and the tune I had changed a lot in terms of the way the powerband felt, no more det, and felt the way it should have from the factory.
Also, yes I'm aware that the ECU needs to be reflashed back to stock and that it won't just disappear when my AP was stolen,
Jesus Ed, give me a little credit!

I'm not sure what hole you're referring to. What's so hard for you to understand that I have had the ECU reflashed back to stock after my AP got jacked? That was almost 2 years ago now that I think about it, seems like 10 years ago though... But yeah, the car has been in stock trim for daaaaaaaaays, I didn't have my car tuned very long unfortunately and I think that's why my #3 got pwn3d.

I like doing my own research because I'm a weirdo like that. I def will talk to paul about the specifics if and when the time comes but right now I just want to learn as much as I can about it...
