So is it in the car already? Or he just has one in his possesion? Does the motor have any known problems? Overall, SBR is definitly a huge DSM vendor, and so they will certaintly have some complaints every now and then. I guess it also depends on how much power he is planning on running. If he wants to make sure he won't blow an engine (although there is no such thing as sure with DSM's), then he could certaintly build up a 2.4 himself...
