The FA20 in the 2015+ WRX is simultaneously the best and worst thing Subaru ever did.
Unlike the bulletproof EJ257, the FA20 responds incredibly well to bolt-ons but punishes owners who don't understand its limits. One poorly tuned accessport flash and you're looking at a $8k motor rebuild.
→ Responds great to proper tuning
→ Intake/exhaust combos that destroy ringlands
→ Red flags that scream "walk away"
→ Smart mod path for longevity
→ Pre-purchase inspection checklist
Save this before you shop - the difference between a solid FA20 and a ticking time bomb often comes down to how the previous owner modded it.
