Do you know something Subaru engineers don't or can you comfortably speak for all production turbocharged engines?

Here's a snip of the quote you provided:

"This permitted a great cost saving by changing all engines over to open deck die-cast cases while keeping the basic strength for a 300hp design limit."

How dare they put "cost savings" in a sentence that describes their top of the line motor.
Does more need to be said about the 300hp design limit. At 300hp stock, you're running on the verge of it blowing up, not to mention the fact that there's nothing left to be done to them.

Got any more factory turbo engines with open decks?
