Used 08 STI how risky?
Looking at buying a used 08 STI but have been reading many horror stories about piston ringland failure.
My question is how do if the the car you are buying has had a replacement engine or the new fuel map flashed to the ECU? is there a typical mileage that this occurs?
Any advice would be great

I believe this occurs early in its life,mine went at 9k.The dealers should reflash it at its first service, but i would check with the dealer if the book is stamped to be certain.
This is my old one if you are looking.
