I own a 17 ford focus st which has the 2.0eb in it. Just hit 70k miles and I absolutely beat on that thing. Obviously it's a different type of abuse but it's been to the race track plenty of times, and full throttle pulls are a daily occurrence. Not a bit of trouble as of yet. Only thing I know is a big issue is carbon build up, but that is a problem with most DI engines, especially ones with turbos. This is fixable with a media blast to clear the block. Hope this helps your choice.
