I do know 350AWHP on evo 9 and 10 seem to last a good 40,000 and the only thing to concern is a head gasket replacement (which is a WHOLE LOT EASIER TO DO ON EVO than a Subby). As far as bullet proof, I haven't seen a many evos in my area over 100,000 miles on that set up, but I haven't seen any complaints as well. At least better than many Subies going on detonation or rod knock when doing auto-x, why is their oil issues so....horrid compared to Porsche?
2011 has different oil requirements lol. And detonation? Road knock? I haven't heard of a lot of the recent ones having issues, other than the 2008 ringland debacle.
