I've got a custom grind dev 5 in the Wagon + heap load of other engine work, runs fine as long as you have a aftermarket ECU and keep it in tune.

I never said the standard ECU didn't like it, it just had weird moments here and there and ran rich. Plus with the standard ECU I wasn't able to use the engine full power.
