No idea, I've had an issue before with the stock tune causing me issues with over boosting. I only have 63K miles on the turbo as they didn't replace it when the engine was replaced under warranty.

I'm considering finding a used turbo and trading it in for a newer wide body GR. We will see what happens over the next few days.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. VF52 is a nice option. I just put one in my Forester and it's a day and night difference. OR, you could always go bigger
