Yeah, but the specter of the exploding head gaskets remains. Also ringlands and other fuckery. Partially due to owner incompetence but partially due to design.
I've said it before on here, the EJ25 is a nice engine that started out as an utter shitshow.
I'm not one to sip on the "EJ BEST EVARRR" kool-aid even though there's an EJ sitting out in my garage as I type this. It's a nice engine. They did some neat things with it. You can build it for some decent power and a nice, solid, flat torque curve.
It's like that girl who you grew up with who was dorky as fuck and clumsy as hell, then you see her 10 years later and is a solid 7/10. You're not gonna fall in love with her at first sight but she def got way easier on the eyes.

True but as long as someone does their research and doesn't mod it voiding the warranty, there is really no problem. Preventing an EJ from blowing up is not hard.

I know I'm probably wasting my time replying to this, but just interested in why people actually think this.
Why the hell would you try fit two turbos in a space that's confined enough with the one they put there from the factory? It's not like you'd gain any power or drivability over a properly sized single turbo in that application

Because all the kiddos believe that if its twin turbo, then it is God. New twin scroll turbos do a better job these days.
