| Well said Lynn,
I have flown in two beautiful Legacy's in the USA both with identical Performance Engines fitted and they feel strong and smooth.
To my knowledge these owners have absolutely no complaints either.
I have also seen similar problems and failures of factory TCM engines.

I know that everyone likes to jump on "Performance engines" but to be fair,
I have 280 hours on the Performance Engines TSIO-550 in my Super Legacy. I
have flown 7 race seasons at Reno with it and this year I was timed at over
370MPH. I have to give credit where credit is due.
