In all fairness that was a known problem in 07 and 08 STi's. Subaru had a crappy factory tune that was running to lean to be better on emissions, it leaned out the car too far at 3k and it caused piston ringlands to break. That why they issued a reflash for the cars, but for many it was already to late.
