Yes, I still have it.
I don't have much history prior to me buying it about 18 months ago. I pulled it from an '04 S with 85k-ish miles, that was front-end-crashed, and put it in my '03 S.
When it first arrived, I hooked up the durametric to it and checked cam deviation and did a compression test on all cylinders; all of this checked-out very good. Then as I was changing fluids, I split-open the oil filter and looked for particles, and found nothing concerning.
Once installed, I put about 1500 miles on the oil I'd put in it, and then sent a sample to Blackstone. They gave it a thumbs-up.
Since that time, I've put about 5000 miles on it; mainly track and commuting to/from the track. It has performed flawlessly, with no hiccups, noises, smells, smoke, steam, stink or any other thing that would concern any of the senses, haha.
Of note: I installed an underdrive-pulley on it; this requires filing-off the tip of the TDC-Tool-bung on the front of the motor. [URL="https://tunersmotorsports.com/trs-development/installation-guides-instructions/trs-porsche-4-inch-under-drive-pulley-installation-guide/"]
