My mate had one, brakes are shite. It never went wrong on him once, the most reliable car he has owned and he's had a lot of high performance motors. Only real problem was the diff whined a bit.

Main problem with them to look out for is the clutches. People turn the boost up for a easy 300bhp without thinking about the clutch untill its too late. So a lot of them for sale will be up with knackered clutches.
